About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This small book is devoted to the basic science and general epidemiology of infections that may complicate critical care practice. … Infectious disease consultants and laboratory staff supporting infection control programs are an appropriate audience for this work, written by three specialists from the U.K. … It emphasizes epidemiology and a scientific approach to infection in an effective presentation.” (David J. Dries, Doody’s Book Reviews, May, 2013)
