Full Description
Provides a comprehensive, fully updated reference book to the general principles and clinical applications of antimicrobials in veterinary medicine
The sixth edition of Antimicrobial Therapy in Veterinary Medicine has been updated to reflect advances in the field, including new international contributors and a broader global outlook. It includes extensive knowledge of both general principles of mechanisms of antimicrobial drug action including specific classes of antimicrobial agents, as well as chapters dedicated to antimicrobial drug use in a wide range of animal species. As antimicrobial resistance increases as a major global issue in both human and animal health, this book's renewed focus on antimicrobial stewardship in companion animals, in food animals, and on global aspects keeps it at the forefront of this vital field.
The Sixth Edition of this classic text offers:
Updates to every chapter, reflecting new developments and research, with a complete examination of the issues associated with antimicrobial resistance
A comprehensive reference for all aspects of antimicrobial use in veterinary medicine, encompassing theory and practice
A global perspective on antimicrobial therapy, with more international content than previous editions
A stronger emphasis on antimicrobial stewardship, with practical guidance for prescribing antimicrobial drugs
A companion website with tables and figures from the book available for download
Antimicrobial Therapy in Veterinary Medicine is an essential and accessible resource for veterinarians, veterinary students, scientists, and professionals in veterinary medicine and antimicrobial research and stewardship.
