The clinical microbiology laboratory is often a sentinel for the detection of drug resistant strains of microorganisms. Standardized protocols require continual scrutiny to detect emerging phenotypic resistance patterns.  The timely notification of clinicians with susceptibility results can initiate the alteration of antimicrobial chemotherapy and improve patient care. It is vital that... Read more

Biography

Lynn Steele-Moore, Richard Schwalbe, Avery C. Goodwin

"… exceptionally well written both in clarity and through illustration. … there is a well-developed index that readers will find quite useful for subject searches. … this book is a comprehensive manual of antimicrobial susceptibility testing protocols and applications. I believe it will be of great value for clinical microbiologists and pathologists, physicians, veterinarians, and pharmacists, medical and veterinary technologists, molecular biologists, infectious disease epidemiologists, as well as infection control practitioners and hospital administrators."

– Christian T.K.-H. Stadtlander, University of St. Thomas, Minnesota in Microbe, January 2009
