By Fergus Allerton

Infection prevention and control is critical in veterinary medicine, but it turns out to be an automated part of care and thus prone to time pressure, forgetfulness and routine. Written by experts in the field, this book draws on evidence-based knowledge to make infection prevention an accessible, dynamic concept relevant to veterinarians and real-world nurses alike. This book compares key insights from the field of human healthcare: maximizes learning opportunities through many practical examples and cases; provides sections with practical instructions such as B. Developing a monitoring plan; and builds on findings from current veterinary literature. The book begins with an introduction to the importance of infection control, with dedicated chapters on key principles such as hand hygiene, personal protective equipment, infection control for surgical and hospital patients, and the care of immunocompromised individuals. Importantly, this book represents the latest research on the responsible use of antibiotics in the context of increasing resistance.
