Apply the newest approaches to evaluate microbial susceptibility.
Antibiotics in Laboratory Medicine has been the defining reference source on evaluating the effectiveness of antibiotic compounds in treating infectious diseases for over 35 years. This thoroughly updated 6th Edition, edited by Daniel Amsterdam and featuring contributions from an elite team of leading international experts, equips you with all the latest methods for analyzing the mechanisms of activity/resistance of various pathogens, assessing their susceptibility to potential treatments , and detecting drug resistance and multi-drug resistance .- New chapters explore the predictive value of in vitro laboratory testing, the challenges of developing antimicrobial stewardship, and the improvements in inpatient care that antimicrobial stewardship has fostered.
- A greatly expanded and updated chapter on antivirals guides you through the most recently discovered treatments.
- Comprehensive updates throughout put all of the most current knowledge and techniques in the field at your fingertips.

4-STAR REVIEW FROM DOODY'S REVIEW SERIVCE!
"Wow -- now this is a really good book. There are so many admirable features! If you have any interest in antibiotics and laboratory medicine, you must have this book. It will answer any question you might ever have about how to test and interpret anything antibiotic-related in your clinical laboratory. This certainly would be of great interest to anyone... specifically laboratory medicine residents, fellows, or attendings (especially those overseeing clinical microbiology laboratories), infectious diseases fellows or attendings, clinical laboratory scientists in training or in practice, and clinical practitioners interested in how laboratories determine organism susceptibility to antimicrobials. Clinical pharmacists (especially those with an infectious diseases focus) or doctoral students or microbiology laboratory directors would find this book invaluable." - Valerie L. Ng, PhD MD, Alameda County Medical Center/Highland Hospital, on behalf of Doody's Review Service
