13. Brucellosis: A Global Re-emerging Zoonosis: Diagnosis, Treatment and PreventionThis book deals with bacterial and mycotic infections considering the particular aspects involved in the immunocompromised host. It is addressed to all people (microbiologists or pathologists) who for their activity have to face every day the clinical and microbiological features of these diseases.
The immunocompromised hosts are a real problem for the peculiar characteristic that these subjects show and for the problems arisen in their treatment. We tried to examine most of infectious diseases such as the gynecological infections, the sexually transmitted diseases , the sepsis , the CNS infections and so on, stressing the diagnosis , the management and the prevention of the diseases and considering the newest aspects i.e. the formation of the bacterial biofilm in the devices or prostheses and the consequent resistance to the antimicrobial agents
