Antimicrobial use and resistance
Current Infectious Disease Reports, 2002As antimicrobial use continues to rise, we are experiencing a concomitant rise in the prevalence of antimicrobial resistance. The precise relationship between use and resistance, however, has been challenging to define. Although the selection pressure exerted by antibiotic therapy appears to be the primary force promoting resistance, it is clear that ...

Use and misuse of antimicrobials
Veterinary Record, 2011ANTIMICROBIAL resistance is a global health problem of growing concern. In 2010, the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that over the past 70 years the use and misuse of antimicrobials in human and animal medicine has led to a ‘relentless rise’ in the number and types of resistant micro-organisms.

Antimicrobial use and antimicrobial resistance in food animals
Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2018Antimicrobials have been widely used in food animals for growth promotion since the 1950s. Antimicrobial resistance emerges in animal production settings and frequently spreads to humans through the food chain and direct contact. There have been international efforts to restrict or ban antimicrobials used for both humans and animals.

The Use of Antimicrobial Agents
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1979Antibiotics are potent preventive and therapeutic agents. However, they do not render humans germ-free. The incidence of infection in most operations has changed little in the decades since antibiotics have been available. These drugs should be used with therapeutic precision with recognition of their limitations and, as pointed out in this article ...

Evaluation of antimicrobial stewardship (AS) for appropriate use of antimicrobial agents
Die Pharmazie, 2017We implemented an antimicrobial stewardship (AS) program whereby pharmacists sought appropriate use of antimicrobial agents in January 2012. At that time, we targeted anti-methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) agents and carbapenems; however, in January 2014, we added tazobactam/piperacillin (TAZ/PIPC).

Journal of Infection, 2007
Although many studies have explored the association between antimicrobial use and antimicrobial resistance, definitions of "exposure" (i.e., prior antimicrobial use) differ across such studies. Specifically, it has been noted that some studies define "exposure" as any antimicrobial use, while others require the administration of at least 24 or 48 h of ...
