Impact of antibiotic heterogeneity by periodic antibiotic monitoring and supervision strategy at two units with different prevalences of multidrug-resistant organisms
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 June 2021
Abstract
In an intensive care unit, antibiotic heterogeneity led to an increase in antibiotic heterogeneity index (P = .002) and a reduction in carbapenem-resistance Enterobacteriaceae incidence (P = .04). In a general medicine unit with low prevalence of multidrug-resistant organisms, antibiotic heterogeneity index and incidence of multidrug-resistant organisms did not improve.
