Description

Book Synopsis
BONE AND JOINT INFECTIONS

Explore this comprehensive presentation of bone and joint infections, including non-implant and implant-associated orthopedic infections

In the newly revised Second Edition of Bone and Joint Infections: From Microbiology to Diagnostics and Treatment, accomplished researcher and author Werner Zimmerli delivers a comprehensive overview of the most recent developments in the subject of bone and joint infection. Covering much of the new information appearing over the last five years, the book includes four new chapters presenting the diagnostic approach in bone and joint infections, discussing the identification of pathogens by non-culture techniques, management of multi-resistant bacteria in bone and joint infections by bacteriophages, and unusual microorganisms in periprosthetic joint infections.

Many of the chapters are also updated to include new information on topics like eubacterial PCR, multiplex PCR, and the shotgun metagenomics
