This is the latest edition of Antibiotic Essentials, a pocket guide
to antimicrobial therapy and infectious diseases, updated annually.
Not simply a collection of guidelines, but a practical and
authoritative guide, written by expert clinicians for practising
clinicians, presented in a user friendly format. Antibiotic
Essentials provides an overview of antimicrobial therapy, followed
by guidance on therapy for over 550 clinical syndromes, including
cardiovascular infections, sexually transmitted diseases, sepsis,
and transplant infections. Subsequent chapters cover antibiotic
susceptibility profiles, parasites, fungi and other organisms, HIV
infections and prophylaxis. A separate chapter covers infectious
diseases and antimicrobial agents in paediatrics. A chest x-ray
atlas and a list of antibiotic pearls and pitfalls are also
provided. This new edition encompasses over 170 antimicrobial drug
summaries in its concluding chapter, including six recently
approved antimicrobials, new to this edition. Each antimicrobial
drug summary includes pharmacokinetic data, antibiotic resistance
potential, adverse effects, drug interactions, and dosing
recommendations. Antibiotic Essentials is edited by Burke A Cunha
MD MACP, Chief, Infectious Disease Division, Winthrop University
Hospital, Mineola, New York, and Professor of Medicine, State
University of New York School of Medicine, one of the world's
