New research may find that some drugs aren t effective anymore against certain bacteria, for example, or that certain combinations of antibiotics shouldn t be used. A guide that includes the latest information is invaluable. Under Bartlett s guidance, Atha and McAvinue gathered a team of experts hand-picked by Hopkins to create the guide and continually make updates to reflect changes in the field. Experts review all current relevant literature on the diagnosis and treatment of infectious diseases and compress that information into bulleted point recommendations. Comments are attributed, along with supporting citations in the literature.
Experts can update the guide anytime, from anywhere they have access to the Internet.
These academic experts provide candid opinions about inappropriate medication use. This is just the beginning.
