Antimicrobial resistance is a major challenge to modern surgical care, making the prevention of infection and the responsible use of antimicrobials increasingly important.
Surgical Infection Prevention and Antimicrobial Stewardship: Evidence-Based Approaches in General and Orthopaedic Surgery provides a practical and evidence-based approach to surgical infection prevention, microbiological diagnosis, antimicrobial selection, source control, and stewardship. It also addresses important general and orthopaedic infections, including surgical-site infection, osteomyelitis, fracture-related infection, periprosthetic joint infection, and implant-associated infection.
Designed for surgeons, residents, microbiologists, infectious-disease specialists, pharmacists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals, this book aims to support rational antimicrobial use and multidisciplinary decision-making.
Its central goal is simple: prevent infection, diagnose accurately, achieve effective source control, and use antimicrobials wisely to preserve their effectiveness for future patients.
