With the application of new analytical techniques, the field of food fermentation has grown over last few years. Because of this, the approach to study bacteria in food has changed. Consequently new information is available on the structure and dynamics of microbial populations during fermented food production.
Molecular Techniques in the Microbial Ecology of Fermented Foods provides the latest information and relevant advances on the microbial ecology of fermented foods and the application of molecular methods. This book serves as a guide for students and researchers on the most advanced techniques to identify bacteria and helps in choosing the most appropriate tools to study fermented food from a microbiological point of view.

Book Description
Rifaximin is a semisynthetic rifamycin which is not absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. It has been available in Europe and other countries for several years, and has recently been approved for treatment of travelers diarrhea in the United States. Because of its broad spectrum of anti-microbial activity, rifaximin has been used with success in the treatment of infectious diarrhea, hepatic encephalopathy, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, inflammatory bowel disease, and colonic diverticular disease. Potential indications include the irritable bowel syndrome and chronic constipation, Clostridium difficile infection and bowel preparation before colorectal surgery.
In this publication both the present and future clinical use of rifaximin as well as the pharmacology behind it are extensively reviewed. Compiling the latest information on this remarkably active antibacterial agent, it will be an essential resource for infectiologists, gastroenterologists, and digestive surgeons

Pocket guide to Antimicrobial Therapy in Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery 13th Edition
by David N. F Fairbanks

This publication is offered as a concise, practical guide to the practicing physician dealing with the usual or average patient. No recommendations for antimicrobial therapy can be absolute, and the good clinician will modify them according to special circumstances in his patient or community. The recommendations contained herein are not to be considered as any official position of the Academy, but, rather, the opinions of the author, the members of the committees, and other consultants at the time of publication; they are subject to change as new developments occur. It is anticipated that this guide will be revised and updated biennially. (It is now in its thirteenth edition with more than 1.25 million copies printed since 1981.)
