Do you really need antibiotics? Curbing our use helps fight drug-resistant bacteria
Antibiotic resistance occurs when a microorganism changes and no longer responds to an antibiotic that was previously effective. It’s associated with poorer outcomes, a greater chance of death and higher health-care costs. In Australia, antibiotic resistance means some patients are admitted to hospital because oral antibiotics are no longer effective and they need to receive intravenous therapy via a drip. Antibiotic resistance is rising to high levels in certain parts of the world.
Combating drug-resistant bacteria through responsible use
Antibiotic resistance is a serious problem that is making it harder to treat infections. It occurs when bacteria change and no longer respond to an antibiotic that was previously effective. This can lead to poorer outcomes, a greater chance of death, and higher health-care costs Antibiotic resistance occurs when a microorganism changes and no longer responds to an antibiotic that was previously effective. It's associated with poorer outcomes, a greater chance of death and higher health-care costs.

Do you really need antibiotics? Curbing our use helps fight drug-resistant bacteria
Antimicrobial resistance is one of the biggest global threats to health, food security and development. This month, The Conversation’s experts explore how we got here and the potential solutions. Antibiotic resistance occurs when a microorganism changes and no longer responds to an antibiotic that was previously effective. It’s associated with poorer outcomes, a greater chance of death and higher health-care costs.
Improving paediatric antimicrobial stewardship in remote and regional Queensland hospitals: development and qualitative evaluation of a tailored intervention for intravenous-to-oral antibiotic switching
Framework The decision sampling framework presents optimal ‘evidence-informed decisions’ for intervention creation by using (1) the best available evidence, (2) experts to evaluate and review the usefulness, practicality, and the contexts and intervention will be used in, and (3) the consideration of values of intervention users and their patients to increase the use and impact of an intervention.
Fosfomycin: what was old is new again
Introduction With the rising prevalence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, there is a need to develop new antibiotics and re‐visit older antibiotics where there are no available alternatives.
An underutilised resource for Antimicrobial Stewardship: a ‘snapshot’ of the community pharmacists’ role in delayed or ‘wait and see’ antibiotic prescribing - Avent - - International Journal of Pharmacy Practice - Wiley Online Library
Various strategies have been implemented in primary care to address the inappropriate use of antibiotics, with varying degrees of success. One such intervention is delayed or ‘wait and see’ prescribing, where the prescriber indicates to wait a few days before dispensing the antibiotic. The aim of this study was to explore community pharmacists’ perceptions and practice experiences with delayed antibiotic prescribing.
