Antimicrobial stewardship interventions: a practical guide

Antimicrobial resistance (‎‎AMR)‎‎ is a global public health emergency. Antimicrobial stewardship programmes have been identified as one of the core strategies to tackle AMR. How to select the most appropriate interventions for each setting however remains challenging. This practical guide describes 10 commonly used stewardship interventions, which promote the optimal use of antimicrobials at health care facilities. Administrators, health care leaders and front-line clinicians learn about the most common interventions, the evidence behind them, as well as important implementation considerations, particularly for low-resource settings.
