The revised volume comprehensively incorporates all of the major developments that have occurred in the field since the publication of the first edition." "The book is comprised of four sections: the antibiogram principles and methods, the antibiogram of the principal bacterial groups, technical specifications for antibiotics case studies, and appendixes and definitions."
