Antimicrobial Stewardship [PDF]

open access: yesMayo Clinic Proceedings, 2011
The overuse and misuse of antimicrobial agents has detrimental effects on patients, the health care system, and society. Inappropriate antimicrobial use contributes to the rising cost of health care, the emergence of multidrug resistant organisms, and adverse drug reactions. Antimicrobial stewardship programs provide standard, evidence-based approaches

Antimicrobial Stewardship in the ICU

Seminars in Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2022
AbstractIncreasing rates of infection and multidrug-resistant pathogens, along with a high use of antimicrobial therapy, make the intensive care unit (ICU) an ideal setting for implementing and supporting antimicrobial stewardship efforts. Overuse of antimicrobial agents is common in the ICU, as practitioners are challenged daily with achieving early ...

Antimicrobial Stewardship and Antimicrobial Resistance

Medical Clinics of North America, 2018
Antimicrobial stewardship programs aim to reduce costs, optimize therapeutic outcomes, and reduce antimicrobial resistance. Reductions of antimicrobial resistance are the most elusive because emergence and spread of resistant bacteria involves antimicrobial selective pressure and lapses in infection control techniques.

Antimicrobial stewardship

American Journal of Infection Control, 2006
Antimicrobial stewardship is a key component of a multifaceted approach to preventing emergence of antimicrobial resistance. Good antimicrobial stewardship involves selecting an appropriate drug and optimizing its dose and duration to cure an infection while minimizing toxicity and conditions for selection of resistant bacterial strains.

Antimicrobial Stewardship in the NICU

Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 2014
There are unique challenges to antimicrobial stewardship in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Diagnosis of infection is difficult as neonates can have nonspecific signs and symptoms. Between and within NICUs, significant variation exists in the treatment duration of suspected sepsis and pneumonia.
