EDITORIAL REVIEWS | Product Description Antibiotics Simplified is a succinct guide designed to bridge knowledge gained in basic sciences courses with clinical practice in infectious diseases. Introductory chapters explain the rationale behind the treatment of infectious diseases, describe a system for selecting antimicrobial agents and briefly review basic microbiology. Later chapters present relevant characteristics of drug classes, emphasizing clinical "pearls" for individual agents, and also include content on antifungals. The concise nature of the text allows for emphasis on key points, allowing readers to extract the most important characteristics of anti-infective drugs from the larger mass of material that they learn from detailed pharmacology textbooks. This is an ideal handbook for students as well as practicing pharmacists, physicians, and other clinicians! |
CUSTOMER REVIEWS (Average Customer Rating: 5.0 based on 1 review)
| Great for medical students and resident physician by B. Stephenson 5 Stars March 02, 2009 I would highly recommend this book for medical students and resident physicians. I have been an attending physician for almost 15 years in academic medicine in various teaching hospitals. I have found that antibiotic knowledge and its translation into practice is challenging for medical students and resident physicians. Furthermore, available guides are too simplistic (tables)and do not help with the fundamentals. In depth articles on single antibiotics are too comphrehensive. This small book fills the current gap. It begins with describing the sterile world, overview of gram positive/gram negative bacteria. Then,the chapters cover a general approach to infectious diseases. What follows are chapters on each class of antibiotics (1 1/2 pages each). It also includes helpful appendices such as Selected Normal Flora near the end. In Summary, I would highly recommend this book. It is readable, short, but stresses important principles. In just a few hours, one can be well-versed on antibiotics.
