Antimicrobial Stewardship
Antimicrobial Stewardship: is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms. Misuse and overuse of antimicrobials is one of the world's most pressing public health problems. Infectious organisms adapt to the antimicrobials designed to kill them, making drugs ineffective. People infected with antimicrobial-resistant organisms are more likely to have longer, more expensive hospital stays and may be more susceptible to die as a result of an infection.
