This book presents in an entertaining and didactic way the information necessary to master the reasons behind the selection of antibiotics for common bacterial pathogens and infectious diseases. The updated content reflects the latest antibiotic medications available on the market, and the illustrations reinforce understanding of the application of antibiotic treatment.This book is not only an antibiotic guide for medical, nursing, and pharmacology students, but also useful for residents, interns and practicing doctors. It is designed to serve as a bridge between the knowledge of the book acquired during the initial phases of medical education and the application and development of thoughtful prescribing skills by experienced professionals. The work is made up of 6 sections and 9 useful appendices. The sections covered include the fundamentals of bacterial replication and its biology as bases of action for chemotherapeutic treatment. The second section addresses the basic pharmacology of the main antibacterial groups; the third section covers the definitive treatment of established and proven infections, while part 4 does so on relief, empirical treatment for different pathologies such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia, meningitis, etc. The last two sections are knowledge applications through self-assessment questions and clinical cases. The appendices address dosing schedules in special groups, common generic and trade names. (they will be adapted to those used in LATAM) and references.
