</p>Severe Infections Caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa (Perspectives on Critical Care Infectious Diseases) Review
This volume is the latest in a series devoted to the strategies required by intensive care specialists to combat the evolving challenge of microbial infections. The Editors' objectives are to provide an update of therapeutic implications and discussion of controversial topics in specific infections involving critically ill patients. Two authors representing management perspectives in Europe and North America discuss each topic. This volume focuses on life-threatening infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa, arguably one of the most adaptable opportunistic pathogens. Twenty-five expert contributors discuss a spectrum of serious P. aeruginosa infections in intensive care units and chronic infections in individuals with cystic fibrosis. The focused nature of the topic might limit the volume's appeal to a wide readership. There is no doubt, however, that the 13 well written contributions reflect the importance and evolving challenge of P. aeruginosa infections, and provide clinicians, scientists - and inquisitive, young microbiologists - with a highly informative and state-of-the-art resource.
