This publication provides a state-of-the-art overview of key issues
related to antimicrobial resistance, including a focus on key
pathogens causing common healthcare-associated and
community-acquired infections. The epidemiology and therapeutic
considerations of these antimicrobial resistant organisms are
discussed, as well as the clinical and health economic impact of
infections caused by them. This progressive reference also provides
a dedicated section covering the clinical programmatic strategies
used to minimize the growing antimicrobial resistance problem,
including practical information related to interventional concepts
and their implementation. In addition to antimicrobial resistance
in the context of traditionally discussed problematic bacterial
pathogens, emerging data related to clinically important fungal
pathogens and Clostridium difficile are also covered.
Practical Healthcare Epidemiology takes a hands-on approach to
infection prevention for physicians, healthcare epidemiologists,
infection preventionists, microbiologists, nurses, and other
healthcare professionals. Increased regulatory requirements and
patient knowledge and involvement has elevated patient safety,
healthcare-associated infections, antibiotic stewardship and
quality-of-care to healthcare wide issues. This fully updated new
edition brings together the expertise of leaders in healthcare
epidemiology to provide best practice expert guidance on infection
prevention for adult and pediatric patients in all types of
healthcare facilities, from community hospitals and academic
institutions, to long-term care and resource limited settings.
Written in clear, straightforward terms to address prevention
planning and immediate responses to specific situations, this is
the go-to resource for any practitioners in medicine or public
health involved in infection prevention, regardless of their
current expertise in the field.
