Coronavirus disease 2019 can be indistinguishable from lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs) caused by other viral and bacterial agents. This likely contributed to antimicrobial use (AU) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) during the pandemic. Our antimicrobial stewardship program targeted the selection and duration of therapy for LRTIs and led to a reduction in AU and AMR.
2019冠状病毒病可能与由其他病毒和细菌病原体引起的下呼吸道感染难以区分。这可能导致了疫情期间的抗菌药物使用(AU)和抗菌药物耐药性(AMR)。我们的抗菌药物管理计划针对下呼吸道感染的治疗选择和疗程,从而减少了抗菌药物使用和抗菌药物耐药性。
