Book Description

May 10, 2007 0781794641 978-0781794640 1

Designed for quick, easy comprehension, this handbook reference will assist medical students in understanding the rationale behind antibiotic selection for common bacterial pathogens and infectious disease presentations. By supplying the rationale for choosing antibiotics, the book reduces the amount of memorization necessary for proper antibiotic prescribing.

The book is heavily illustrated with two-color figures and includes fact-anecdotes, interesting ancillary information, mnemonics, and questions to test understanding. Appendices include dosing in adults and children; antibacterial agents in pregnancy; generic and trade names of commonly used antibacterial agents; and treatment of infections caused by bacterial agents of bioterrorism.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Doody's Book Review -- "This is a wonderful manual for medical students and residents who are learning the intricacies of antimicrobial agents...The book achieves its objectives in a succinct and successful manner. It helps readers understand how antibiotics work and when and where they are used in clinical situations...Although written at the level of medical students and residents, the book easily can be used by pharmacy students and nurses for any infectious disease or microbiology course...it accomplishes in very little time what the student learner needs to know about antibiotic usage. The price is modest and affordable for its intended audience of students. Such a book is a bargain." Weighted Numerical Score: 85 - 3 Stars Doody's Review Service -- Overall, this is a straightforward, thorough review book for psychiatry. It is well organized, comprehensive, and easy to use. Its outline format will certainly appeal to some students, and the USMLE-style questions and answers should help them prepare for their licensing exams. This is a very good contribution to the field of review books for psychiatry. Weighted Numerical Score: 100 - 5 stars! School of Pharmacy, 01-JAN-08, Amy L. Pakyz -- "If students, residents, and practicing physicians invest their time in reading this book, they will be rewarded with a good antibacterial review that brings together microbiology, pharmacology, and disease state management that will make the question "which antibiotic should this patient be receiving" less overwhelming."

This review is from: Antibiotic Basics for Clinicians: Choosing the Right Antibacterial Agent (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)) (Paperback)
Excellent information. I am a new nurse practitioner and did not get this info in NP school. Really explains bacterial biological processes and how antibiotics target them, then reviews various bacteria, followed by usual therapies for the most common disease states. It finishes up with clinical scenarios and review questions, as well as helpful tables. Loved it, and plan to periodically review it. I had a lot of "AHA" moments. What does this book lack? It should explain how to read a culture and sensitivity report, and the concept of minimum inhibitory concentration.

This book is excellent for those who either have no background with antibiotics or need a good review. The information is presented thoroughly and effectively. I would rate this book five starts and highly recommend it to everyone.

3.0 out of 5 stars Antibiotic Basics Review, February 9, 2008
This review is from: Antibiotic Basics for Clinicians: Choosing the Right Antibacterial Agent (Point (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins)) (Paperback)
Antibiotic Basics for Clinicians reads fairly quickly with lots of pictures and tables. This book talks about organisms separately from the drugs and has great appendixes for dosing. The book needs to have a more detailed discussion of clinical uses, drug interactions, and resistance for each drug. I kind of wish my professor had chosen another book, but she said that there were not many books like this one on the market.
