informa Healthcare, one of the world's leading medical and scientific publishers and the official publisher of Mayo Clinic Scientific Press, announced the publication of Mayo Clinic Antimicrobial Therapy: Quick Guide.

From its sleek and practical four-by-seven inch trim size to its ambitious goal of providing effortless access to therapy guidelines, this latest addition to the therapeutic pocket-guide front aims to carve a niche in the hearts of every busy clinician looking for a new easy-to-use antimicrobial reference guide.

Easy-to-read tables and charts, more than 300 pages of critical decision support information, and the Mayo Clinic's international reputation all come together to position Mayo Clinic Antimicrobial Therapy: Quick Guide head and shoulders above its competition.

Mayo Clinic Antimicrobial Therapy: Quick Guide details adult and pediatric dosing recommendations for renal function and indication as well as dosing and monitoring protocols used at Mayo Clinic. It also includes drug-of-choice information for specific organisms-including bacteria, fungi, and viruses-and simplified antimicrobial and management recommendations for specific infectious syndromes. The information is adeptly arranged for readability - including color - to be especially applicable to the clinical environment.

With the latest guidelines and recommendations, this point-of-care quick guide is an exceedingly valuable source of information for busy physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, and pharmacists around the world. Anyone looking for antimicrobial drug dosing recommendations-including information not found in other pocket references-need look no further.
