Förlagets beskrivning
This comprehensive textbook offers a globally-relevant account of the
properties of all types of antimicrobial agent that are used in human medicine
and provides authoritative guidance on the principles and practice of
antimicrobial chemotherapy. The increasing problem of multi-drug resistance and
the wide range of new antiviral therapies now available for the treatment of
HIV and other viral infections are two of the new areas discussed in this
comprehensive eighth edition. In addition to full coverage of every commonly
used antibiotic agent, there are extensive chapters on all antiviral,
antiprotozoan and anthelminthic agents. Completely revised throughout, with contributions from over 60 experts in
infections disease/ medical microbiology worldwide, this edition reviews
antimicrobial agents and the new antifungal therapies (voriconazole, liposomal
amphotericin B) in detail, and covers pharmacokinetic sections in a more
clinically relevant, less theoretical manner. There are specific tables on
major drug interactions, placental transfer and concentrations of agents in
breast milk, and new sections on liver failure, drug development and licensing,
and the implications of xenotransplantation. The quinolone chapter has been
greatly expanded to cover the wider spectrum of activity of the newer agents,
and more information has been added on the new antimalarial combination
therapies. The text includes cross-referencing to key web-sites (for example,
the CDC website) to direct the reader to the source of the most up-to-date
information on treatment, drug resistance and more. This comprehensive textbook offers a globally-relevant account of the
properties of all types of antimicrobial agent that are used in human medicine
and provides authoritative guidance on the principles and practice of
antimicrobial chemotherapy.
