Description and Table of Contents
Description
An in-depth review of one of the most important classes of antimicrobial agents discovered in recent years. * Compiles the current information on a larger number of compounds and their expanding clinical applications. * Provides a knowledgeable summary of the problems and promises that quinolones hold for the scientific and clinical communities. * Includes information on the treatment of intra-abdominal infections and infections caused by intracellular pathogens and the use of fluoroquinolones in intensive care unit infections and in pediatrics. * Covers adverse effects, including QT prolongation, phototoxicity, effects on cartilage, and central nervous system effects.
This title is published by the American Society for Microbiology Press and distributed by Taylor and Francis in rest of world territories.
