I received an email recently notifying me of the availability of The Johns Hopkins ABX Guide for the Android OS. I remember using the Hopkins ABX guide on my Palm Pilot many years ago. The website has always been a great source of information and having it in a mobile platform is great, especially for pharmacists.
According to the email I received from the USBMIS Development Team: “The Johns Hopkins ABX Guide for Android continues to provide current, authoritative, comprehensive information on anti-microbial agents, infectious diseases, and commonly-encountered pathogens in one portable volume. Written by experts at the world-renowned Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, this must-have resource features expert recommendations, clinical anddiagnostic decision-making tools, and drug-to-drug interactions. Concise, thorough, and current, The Johns Hopkins ABX Guide, Mobile Edition is designed for quick reference and comprehension. Information is featured in an easy-to-access format 
that facilitates rapid application of knowledge at the point of care.â€
Click this link on your Android device or simply scan the QR-Code to the right to download The Johns Hopkins ABX Guide. The application used to be free, but now it’ll lighten your pockets a bit with a $25 price tag.
Can the lJohns Hopkins” antibiotic guide be downloaded to palm pilots? It used to be free to download.
Hi Gordon –
Once upon a time the Johns Hopkins Abx Guide was available for the original Palm Pilot. According to the website (http://www.hopkinsguides.com/hopkins/ub) it’s available for the following devices/operating systems and no longer appears to be free. Too bad really, as it was a nice app.
Apple’s iOS (iPhone®, iPod touch®, iPad™)
