More DescriptionInfection control is now a major issue in clinical practice. The second edition of this highly successful book provides a comprehensive guide to the principles and practice of infection control and prevention, and the basic elements of microbiology and epidemiology that underpin them. This revised edition contains new illustrations to aid understanding, updated references, and new material on emerging pathogens, antimicrobial resistance and clinical governance.
