Summary:

Antibiotic selection and dosing is the foundation of infectious disease practice. In addition, the issue of antimicrobial resistance makes antibiotic management one of the most controversial and important areas in internal medicine. The visual design of this manual aids the rapid retrieval of information and makes it possible to offer more information than the popular Sanford Guide, while focusing on the essentials and eliminating the extensive details covered in standard textbooks and online references. The Antibiotic Manual includes 188 of the most common agents used in internal medicine by drug name.
