The effect of Meropenem stewardship at Prof Ngoerah Hospital on the prevalence of carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumannii, Carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the cost of purchasing meropenem

Antimicrobial Stewardship & Healthcare Epidemiology
Background: Irrational use of antibiotics will trigger anti-microbial resistance which is a threat to health problems now and in the future. The use of meropenem is often the last choice in using antibiotics without undergoing microbiological examination
