Methods: Patients with CAP were retrospectively recruited in two Spanish hospitals from 1/1/18 to 10/30/19.

Performance Assessment of Software to Detect and Assist Prescribers with Antimicrobial Drug Interactions: Are all of them Created Equal?

Background: Detecting and managing antimicrobial drug interactions (ADIs) is one of the facets of prudent antimicrobial prescribing. Our aim is to compare the capability of several electronic drug-drug interaction (DDI) checkers to detect and report ADIs.

Methods: Six electronic DDI checking platforms were evaluated: Drugs.

Young doctors' perspectives on antibiotic use and resistance: a multinational and inter-specialty cross-sectional European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) survey.

Background: Postgraduate training has the potential to shape the prescribing practices of young doctors.

Objectives: To investigate the practices, attitudes and beliefs on antibiotic use and resistance in young doctors of different specialties.

Methods: We performed an international web-based exploratory survey.

Perspective of Spanish medical students regarding undergraduate education in infectious diseases, bacterial resistance and antibiotic use.

Introduction: One of the main tools to optimize antibiotics use is education of prescribers. The aim of this article is to study undergraduate education in the field of infectious diseases, antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic stewardship from the perspective of Spanish medical students.

Material And Methods: An anonymous online questionnaire was distributed among sixth grade students using different channels in Europe, within the ESGAP Student-Prepare survey.
