Taking readers from the research laboratory to the bedside, this
Second Edition compiles essential information on the
pharmacodynamics of all major classes of the antimicrobial
armamentarium including penicillins, cephalosposorins, cephamycins,
carbapenems, monobactams, aminoglycosides, quinolones, macrolides,
antifungals, antivirals, and emerging agents currently in
development. Written by experienced professionals in the field,
this guide uses an abundance of examples to depict methods to apply
pharmacodynamic concepts to everyday clinical practice.

This book focuses on topics ranging from the economics of
drug-resistant infections and the management of antimicrobial use
to new information on methods to optimize the selection, route of
administration, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial therapies for
common infections. In addition to offering ideas on studied
programmatic approaches for judicious utilization of antimicrobial
agents, this reference discusses practical means to track
intervention outcomes through benchmarking. Authored by experts in
their respective fields, the book contains essential principles and
practical strategies to optimize the utility of antimicrobial
agents in modern inpatient health care settings.
The 'Encyclopedia of Pharmaceutical Microbiology' encapsulates the
growing field by providing a single reference work that covers
basic microbiology, clinical use and modes-of-action of
antimicrobials, antimicrobial resistance mechanisms and drug
manufacture and biotechnology.
Pharmaceutical Microbiology encompasses those aspects of
Microbiology which impact directly upon the development, production
and use of pharmaceutical compounds. It is arguably the most
exciting, dynamic and relevant sub-discipline of Microbiology and
provides a direct interface between clinical microbiology,
immunology, pharmacology and biotechnology. The influence of
Pharmaceutical Microbiology pervades aspects of basic research into
potential microbial drug targets, through applied research and
towards the development of novel biotechnological approaches to
drug production and delivery. With the advent of high-throughput
sequencing technologies, the availability of microbial genome
sequences and the delivery of the human genome sequence, scientists
are now well placed to challenge microbial threats to human health.
In an era of increasing antibiotic resistance, nosocomial
infections and chronic viral infections (including HIV) one could
argue that there has never been a more opportune time for the
development of new antimicrobials and vaccines.The Encyclopedia of
Pharmaceutical Microbiology aims to encapsulate this rapidly
growing field by providing a single reference work that covers
basic microbiology (including antimicrobial drug targets), clinical
use and modes-of-action of antimicrobials, antimicrobial resistance
mechanisms and drug manufacture and biotechnology.
