A book worthing reading

This book is helpful for those who are interested in infectious diseases. Althoug newer drugs do not be included in this book and there are some limitations of information of some antibiotics, this book still has its role in teaching medical students and residents who want to be infection specialists. Comprehensive review of all antibiotics is impossible as you chosen this book. In general, I give four stars to this book.
