Kucers' The Use of Antibiotics: A Clinical Review of Antibacterial, Antifungal, Antiparasitic, and Antiviral Drugs

Kucers' The Use of Antibiotics is the leading major reference work in this vast and rapidly developing field. More than doubled in length compared to the fifth edition, the sixth edition covers all new and existing therapies and emerging drugs not yet fully licensed.

Concentrating on the treatment of infectious diseases, the content is divided into four sections: antibiotics, anti-fungal drugs, anti-parasitic drugs, and anti-viral drugs. Within each section each chapter is structured to cover susceptibility, formulations and dosing (adult and pediatric); pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, toxicity and drug distribution. It provides in a systematic and concise manner all of the information needed when treating infections requiring antimicrobial therapy.
