Exploring dentist’s engagement with antibiotic stewardship programs: a multicenter qualitative study in Pakistan
This study found that knowledge regarding ASP was insufficient among dental practitioners, owing to a lack of institutional policies and awareness among the practitioners. The outcome of the lack of these programs and misinformation among both patients and dentists is widely contributing to the current state of antibiotic resistance in Pakistan.
