Applied Microbiology in Intensive Care Medicine

Shaikh, Nissar; Chanda, Arshad Hussain

This book covers microbiological features of the diseases that require intensive care support, including iatrogenic and hospital-acquired infections. The knowledge will assist in the early diagnosis and treatment of bacterial, viral, and fungal infections requiring critical care admission to improve patient outcomes. All microbiological and therapeutic concerns and management of infectious disorders of all human body systems, from the brain to the musculoskeletal system, are addressed. It also describes practical and descriptive ways to prevent, diagnose, and manage various known and forthcoming healthcare-associated illnesses, ranging from MRSA to VRE and others. 

Applied Microbiology in Intensive Care Medicine will benefit not only intensive and critical care practitioners but also infectious disease practitioners and physicians, surgeons, intensivists, clinical pharmacists, nurses, and technicians in intensive care units.
