Oxford Handbook of Infectious Diseases and Microbiology

Review from previous edition ‘The authors have achieved a Herculean task in including so much information in what is still a pocket-sized volume, albeit close to 900 pages, and in a format that is accessible and readable…In terms of value for money and information per cm3, this handbook cannot be beaten.’ * Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy *”…an essential tool that would fit into most medical scrub and lab coat pockets… also a good recommendation for students preparing for medical examinations” * Oliver Schildgen, Wolters Kluwer *
