Antimicrobial Therapy in Veterinary Medicine, 6th Edition, edited by Patricia M. Dowling, John F. Prescott, and Keith E. Baptiste, provides a reference on antimicrobial pharmacology, drug selection, and resistance management in animal health. Published by Wiley-Blackwell, this 880-page volume supports evidence-based drug selection and clinical decision-making across veterinary medicine.

The content outlines foundational scientific principles, covering mechanisms of drug action, susceptibility testing methods, resistance epidemiology, pharmacokinetics, and pharmacodynamics. It systematically examines major therapeutic agent classes, including penam penicillins, cephalosporins, peptide antibiotics, aminoglycosides, and tetracyclines. Subsequent chapters explore general concepts of antimicrobial stewardship across companion animals, food-producing animals, and international healthcare environments.

With contributions from international experts, the reference incorporates broad global perspectives on One Health initiatives. It is designed to assist veterinarians, upper-level veterinary students, research scientists, and professionals involved in veterinary medicine and antimicrobial stewardship.
