"This is the first book I am aware of that reviews only the antimicrobial agents. In general, a book of this kind is very useful." -Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal "...Dr. Axelsen provides sufficient, accurate, up-to-date information for physicians and allied health professionals as well. The quick review and update of pharmacokinetics, adverse effects, and resistance proved helpful for me, and I believe for our readers as well." - Comprehensive Therapy
