    • Overview

      As clinical practitioners, we often struggle to find a balance between appropriate treatment of infectious disease states and antimicrobial stewardship to prevent antimicrobial resistance. In 2016 the Infectious Diseases Society of America published guidelines for the implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programs to help improve the appropriate use of antimicrobials by promoting the selection of the optimal antibiotic drug regimen and duration. As clinicians we often need tools to help with stewardship in treating common disease states such as pneumonia and other ICU infections. This activity will provide practitioners with knowledge of several important biomarkers and tests to help guide the use of antimicrobials and promote stewardship.
