Antimicrobial stewardshipVirtual patientObjectives: Our objective was to develop and validate a virtual patient (VP) learning module to educate pediatric residents about antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) principles. A VP module on complicated pneumonia was developed by experts in AMS and pediatric infectious...
A 75-year-old man (weight 86.2 kg) was referred for tertiary care at our institution after a chest, abdomen and pelvic CT scan revealed a complex right pleural effusion with a percutaneous biliary drain traversing the pleural sulcus that was concerning for a pleural–biliary fistula. His ...
Unique Role of Pharmacists in Antimicrobial Stewardship:Gillespie highlights the pharmacist's pivotal role in antimicrobial stewardship within health care systems. Pharmacists, through their expertise in medications, review every prescription and have the knowledge to ident...
Healthcare workers play a critical role in appropriate antimicrobial prescription, patient education on antimicrobial use and the implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programmes. Hence, understanding healthcare workers’ perspectives on AMR in chronic respiratory disease is critical to developing and impl...

Conversely, in outpatient settings, antibiotic stewardship centers on patient education, diagnostic testing, and promoting antibiotic usage solely when deemed necessary. By establishing a culture that promotes responsible utilization of antimicrobials, it is possible to mitigate the selection pressure exerted ...
The framework Core Elements of Outpatient Antibiotic Stewardship provides the ideal platform to support the successful implementation and uptake of AMS programs in primary care because it utilises the combination of education, guidance, interventions and a supportive policy environment. It is also importan...
of inappropriate prescribing were identified as outpatient setting type, particularly urgent care; older patient age mix; and location in the South. These findings give antibiotic stewards an opportunity to target education and resources to places where they are likely to have the most impact.[xiii]...
The World Health Organization recommended the implementation of antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in the clinical settings to minimize the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The current study aimed to assess global research activity
Stewardship Historically, antifungal drugs have been used in many patients without fungal infections through prophylactic and empiric treatment strategies. This problem is exacerbated by the poor sensitivity of traditional culture-based diagnostics, and the potentially fatal consequences of treatment delay in...
