Understanding the Outline
The tables listed in the Outline gener-
ally correspond to the tables in the
printed Guide to Antimicrobial Therapy
(1997 ed.). However, some tables (e.g.,
Table 4) have been divided.
The submenus in the Outline usually
list the row headings and subheadings
of a table. Some row headings have
been alphabetized or rearranged for
easier reference. The information in
each column is presented as text.
