Mayo Clinic Antimicrobial Therapy ─ Quick Guide

The medical management of infectious diseases and antimicrobial therapy can be a daunting task for health care professionals. Although expansive textbooks and online resources are available, a simplified, quick reference guide is needed for the day-to-day office and hospital clinical practice. Mayo Clinic Antimicrobial Therapy: Quick Guide, Second Edition, provides information about infectious diseases and antimicrobial therapy in a format that is readily accessible and easily applicable to the clinical environment.

Highlights of this book include drug dosing recommendations for renal function and renal replacement therapies, drugs of choice for specific organisms (including bacteria, fungi, and viruses), and simplified antimicrobial and management recommendations for specific infectious syndromes.

Mayo Clinic Antimicrobial Therapy: Quick Guide, Second Edition, will assist health care providers in the management of infectious diseases and in the selection of appropriate antimicrobial therapy in a time-efficient manner.
