Contemporary Diagnosis and Management of Antimicrobial-Resistant Bacteria

The use and overuse of antimicrobials over the past decades has led to the development of antibiotic-resistant pathogens. Now in its second edition, this handbook features chapters dedicated to the discussion of specific pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), and their clinical presentation and treatment. General precautions to prevent the development of drug-resistant infections are also discussed.
