Antibiotic Resistance: Understanding and Responding to an Emerging Crisis

Karl S. Drlica and David S. Perlin

ISBN-10: 0131387731

ISBN-13: 978-0131387737

The emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance is a growing medical and public health emergency. Misuse and overuse of antibiotics is putting us at risk of losing our ability to cure infectious diseases. Karl Drlica and David S. Perlin give an authoritative and thorough explanation of all aspects of antibiotic resistance, from the basic science to the strategies that could minimize resistance problems and extend the life spans of existing antibiotic agents. Intended as the definitive book on a major biomedical issue, Antibiotic Resistance will be required reading for investigators and serious students in microbiology, infectious disease, pharmaceutics, and public health; physicians; and students in pharmacy, medicine, and veterinary medicine.

A Color Atlas of Comparative Pathology of Pulmonary Tuberculosis

ISBN-13: 978-1439835272

An annual death toll of 2 million, coupled with rising drug resistance, highlights the need for the development of new drugs, better diagnostics, and a tuberculosis (TB) vaccine. Addressing these key issues, A Color Atlas of Comparative Pathology of Pulmonary Tuberculosis introduces TB histopathology to the non-histopathologists, students, scientists, and doctors working, learning, and teaching in the field of TB. It contains 100 color photographs and illustrations that bring clarity to the information presented. The atlas takes the unusual approach of covering multiple species histopathology, arguably the first and quite possibly the only resource to do so. It provides a simple, annotated, and visual presentation of the comparative histopathology of TB in human and animal models. The editors have compiled information that helps TB scientists to distinguish between the features of all major animal models available and to use them with their strengths and limitations in mind. The book provides guidance for selecting the best animal model(s) to answer specific questions and to test the efficacy of drug candidates.
