Infection Control In Small Animal Clinical Practice Pdf Download

By Kelly Bowlt Blacklock and Fergus Allerton

Infection prevention and control is vital within a veterinary setting, but can find itself an automated part of care โ€“ and therefore vulnerable to time constraints, forgetfulness, and routine. Infection Control in Small Animal Clinical Practiceย is written by experts in the field and uses evidence-based findings to elevate infection prevention to a well understood, dynamic concept, relevant to both veterinary practitioners and nurses in practice.

Beginning with an introduction to the importance of infection control, dedicated chapters in Infection Control in Small Animal Clinical Practice 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.
