A must read for anyone who wants to know more about antibiotics and how to use them.  It’s weak on structure, molecular mechanisms of action and resistance, so for these topics you will have to resort to the literature. Also, it is outdated and does not list all newer antiinfectives.

Mandell is one of the best and most comprehensive infectious diseases textbooks.  Keep in mind that it is not encyclopedic, sometimes wrong,  and that for a detailed understanding of the case you will often need to read the primary literature and subspecialty texts. But it is generally a good place to start looking for information, rather than first doing a Medline search. Also available in electronic version on Penn Library Web site
