商品簡介
A monograph devoted entirely to P. aeruginosa , a bacterial pathogen with the ability to cause serious and destructive infections, particularly in the most susceptible compromised hosts. It contains two chapters devoted to the unique abilities of P. aeruginosa to explore and maintain an ecological foothold and to initiate the disease state in a wide variety of hosts; a series of chapters that integrate applicable pathogenic, epidemiologic, and clinical knowledge of both acute and chronic infections caused by P. aeruginosa ; a chapter on the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic approaches to antimicrobial therapy of the infections, as well as a guide to prescribing these antipseudomonal antimicrobials; a review of the rationale for immunotherapy and immunoprophylaxis; and a discussion of the role of cytokines in both pathogenesis and possible management.
