Antibiotic Manual for Physicians and Postgraduate Medical Students | Comprehensive Antimicrobial Therapy Guide with Stewardship, Resistance, Dose ... and Specialty-wise Antibiotic Protocols: 1

Antibiotic Manual is a comprehensive clinical reference on antimicrobial therapy, co-edited by Dr Arijit Sinha (infectious diseases) and Dr Subhrojyoti Bhowmick (clinical pharmacology). Spanning 32 chapters across 436 pages, it moves from the foundational principles of antibiotic pharmacokinetics, mechanisms of action and resistance interpretation through to specialty-specific chapters covering surgery, orthopedics, hematology, nephrology, neurology, cardiology, respiratory disease, tuberculosis, rheumatology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, geriatrics, tropical diseases, oncology, obstetrics and gynecology, pregnancy, pediatrics, eye and ENT infections, skin and soft tissue infections, sepsis and prophylaxis. Nearly 50 contributing specialists bring evidence-based, India-specific guidance to every chapter, citing national policy frameworks such as the National Action Plan on AMR and Kerala's Antimicrobial Resistance Strategic Action Plan (KARSAP) alongside global resistance data. Each chapter follows a structured format -- Introduction, Definition, Current Scenario, Risks and Hazards, Prevention and Legal Aspects -- and is supported by structured algorithms, stepwise differential diagnoses, dose-modification tables for organ dysfunction, and formulary strategies for rational, evidence-based prescribing. Who This Book Is For: Practicing Physicians: a single desk reference covering antibiotic selection, dosing and stewardship across nearly every clinical specialty. Postgraduate Medical Students and Residents: a structured chapter format and India-specific AMR policy content build a working command of rational antibiotic use. General and Orthopedic Surgeons: dedicated chapters on antibiotic use in surgery and orthopedics support perioperative and infection-management decisions. Intensivists and Critical Care Physicians: a dedicated chapter on antibiotics in sepsis management supports high-stakes prescribing decisions. Specialists across disciplines (pediatrics, geriatrics, nephrology, cardiology, gastroenterology and more): specialty-specific chapters address organ- and disease-specific dosing considerations. Why This Book Helps: Simplifies complex prescribing decisions: structured algorithms and stepwise differential diagnoses replace guesswork with a clear decision pathway. Keeps dosing safe in organ dysfunction: a dedicated chapter walks through dose modification of antibiotics for renal, hepatic and other organ impairment. Builds stewardship discipline: chapters on antimicrobial stewardship, good clinical practice and misuse consequences support institution-level rational-use programs. Addresses India-specific resistance patterns: a dedicated chapter interprets antimicrobial resistance genes and antibiotic selection specifically for the Indian setting. Covers the full clinical spectrum in one volume: from foundational pharmacology through 20-plus specialty-specific chapters, reducing the need to consult multiple references. Key Features: 32 chapters across 436 pages, spanning foundational antibiotic pharmacology through specialty-specific prescribing guidance. Nearly 50 contributing specialists covering surgery, orthopedics, hematology, nephrology, neurology, cardiology, respiratory medicine, tuberculosis, rheumatology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, geriatrics, tropical medicine, oncology, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, eye and ENT, skin and soft tissue infections, sepsis and prophylaxis. Dedicated chapter on dose modification of antibiotics with organ dysfunction. India-specific AMR policy content, including the National Action Plan on AMR and Kerala's KARSAP strategy. Structured algorithms, stepwise differential diagnoses and formulary strategies built for evidence-based prescribing.
