The grave threat to world health of the rampant occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in hospitals and other facilities is examined in this authoritative collection of ten articles. Rather than concentrate on the effects of resistance, the focus is on why it occurs and strategies for its prevention. Individual chapters discuss extended-spectrum ß-lactamase, fluoroquinolone resistance, community-associated methicillin resistant staph infection, antibiotic resistance and pneumonia in a flu pandemic, and mass treatment of parasitic diseases. The cost of antimicrobial resistance in healthcare settings and methods for reducing their occurrence are the topic of separate chapters. A concluding chapter discusses the threat of HIV drug resistance in the developing world. Each chapter includes an abstract, summary, and lengthy list of references. Several of the contributors are with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, GA. Annotation ©2010 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
