Reviews

The text is well written, punctuated with humour and an easy read [...] The true gems, however, are the summary tables at the back of the book in the appendices, including a simple overview of commonly uses antibiotics, their mechanism of action, spectrum of activity and clinical uses. * Dr Kathryn Harrison, Innovait *
