Just because you detected a microbe doesn’t mean you need to treat it! Antimicrobial stewardship is not just providing a list of antibiotics to choose from, but determining if treatment is necessary in the first place! Sinusitis, for example, often gets misdiagnosed and mistreated—sometimes (and very often), it’s not even an infection! More precision, less prescription. #PrescribeResponsibly #AntimicrobialStewardship #PublicHealth #AntimicrobialResistance https://lnkd.in/eKVfCp2s
