A book worthing reading

This book is helpful for those who are interested in infectious diseases. Althoug newer drugs do not be included in this book and there are some limitations of information of some antibiotics, this book still has its role in teaching medical students and residents who want to be infection specialists. Comprehensive review of all antibiotics is impossible as you chosen this book. In general, I give four stars to this book.

Good but out of date

This book has great information on antimicrobial drugs. It is what is allowing me to pass (I hope) my chemotherapeutics class. While the information is presented well it was published in 2000 and drug resistance has changed in 8 years, and new drugs have been released. I hope Scholar/Pratt release a third edition. Overall an oldie but a goodie.

This is a thorough updating of a classic text that has been published in three editions since Pratt's Chemotherapy of Infection (OUP, 1973). Its treatment of the mechanisms of action, pharmacology and adverse effects of the drugs used to treat bacterial, fungal, parasitic and viral infections has been greatly expanded, and this edition includes two completely new chapters on the fluoroquinolones and the drugs used to treat AIDS.
