The increasing threat of antimicrobial resistance, exacerbated by the pandemic, underscores the importance of the infection preventionist as an active member of the antimicrobial stewardship program.
They also lack methods to ensure the proper initiation, justified continuation and prompt de-escalation of antibiotics use, which collectively are referred to as antimicrobial stewardship programmes. The role of asymptomatic carriers of antibiotic resistance genes among humans and animals is of concern. ...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to human health worldwide, and the rapid detection and quantification of resistance, combined with antimicrobial stewardship, are key interventions to combat the spread and emergence of AMR. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) systems are the colle...
