Antimicrobial resistance is a global threat, and antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) are vital to curb resistance. A survey of 20 Dominican Republic hospitals revealed ASPs were absent in 50% and compliance with CDC core elements varied, highlighting significant challenges and areas of opportunity in implementing effective stewardship in resource-limited settings.
抗菌药物耐药性是一项全球性威胁,抗菌药物管理计划(ASP)对于遏制耐药性至关重要。一项针对20家多米尼加共和国医院的调查显示,50%的医院没有ASP,且对美国疾病控制与预防中心(CDC)核心要素的遵守情况各不相同,这凸显了在资源有限的环境中实施有效管理面临的重大挑战和机遇领域。
