Infection Control in Small Animal Clinical Practice - Fergus Allerton - Bog

Infection prevention and control is vital within a veterinary setting, but can find itself an automated part of care--and therefore vulnerable to time constraints, forgetfulness, and routine. Beginning with an introduction to the importance of infection control, dedicated chapters in this book then consider key principles such as hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, infection control for the surgical and hospitalized patient, and care for immunosuppressed individuals. Importantly, this book presents an up-to-date exploration of responsible antibiotic use in the context of rising resistance.
