Impact of a persuasive antimicrobial stewardship program on antibiotic use in patients admitted to emergency department for urinary tract infections: a multicentre prospective study
In the centre where an AMS program was conducted, an increase in the number of positive urine cultures (67% vs 43.1%) has been observed, and a higher rate of prescriptions for Access class antibiotics. Further prospective data are needed to evaluate the impact of AMS intervention on antimicrobial prescribing in emergency setting.
