A nationwide survey of antimicrobial stewardship infrastructure and CDC core elements in the Dominican Republic
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.
