Antibiotics Simplified PDF

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.

I am a hospital microbiologist. I was looking for a to-the-point, up-to-date, handy reference about current antimicrobial use. I am so pleased with this book that I think it should be required reading in college for any one intending to work in microbiology in a hospital setting! The book does not replace national, legal, guidelines -but it does say what our guidelines say. Every word in this book you need to know. Imagine the best to-the-point notes someone ever gave you...and including all the latest antimicrobials! This book stays close!
