Abstract

TOXLINE is the National Library of Medicine's online bibliographic database covering the toxicologic, pharmacologic, biochemical, physiologic, and environmental effects of chemicals. It is a merged database composed of subsets from 13 different sources. Most of the citations in TOXLINE refer to journal articles; other publication types include meeting reports, monographs, patents, research project reports, technical reports and theses. TOXLINE is searched using a number of synonyms to fully express a concept, as compared to MEDLINE which can be searched by standard terms, thus obviating the need for synonym search terms. Toxicologists, other scientists, and clinicians are encouraged to become familiar with online searching techniques and to conduct their own searches.

Navigating the World Wide Web in search of resources on antimicrobial resistance.

This overview gives information on navigating for English-language Web sites on antimicrobial resistance. Web sites were gathered on the basis of personal files, articles, and an exhaustive Web search of cross-links from other Web pages. The Web sites were categorized according to users' needs into 5 broad categories, as follows: comprehensive Web sites, with information on all aspects of antimicrobial resistance-related issues; Web sites with patient information about antimicrobial resistance and about methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, in particular; Web sites covering current multinational surveillance programs; Web sites on prevention of antimicrobial resistance in health care facilities; and Web sites on control of antimicrobial resistance in the community. We compiled a selection of Web sites that seemed to be useful as starting points for physicians, epidemiologists, researchers, or patients interested in this topic.
