Antimicrobial Therapy in Veterinary Medicine, 6th Edition

Patricia M. Dowling, John F. Prescott, Keith E. Baptiste

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.
