About

    Antibiotic stewardship refers to the coordinated efforts to ensure that antibiotics are used appropriately and effectively in order to combat the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. This includes strategies to optimize antibiotic prescribing, minimize unnecessary antibiotic use, and prevent the spread of resistant bacteria. Antibiotic stewardship programs are typically implemented in healthcare settings to improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, and preserve the effectiveness of antibiotics for future generations. This research area focuses on developing and evaluating interventions to improve antibiotic use and promote responsible prescribing practices among healthcare providers.
