[Combating antimicrobial resistance: audits of practices to target actions].

Antibiotic resistance is a public health emergency requiring a concerted approach and motivating the implementation of antibiotic stewardship programmes. As part of an institutional project at the Centre hospitalier universitaire vaudois, we collected data on the appropriateness of antimicrobial prescriptions in various medical and surgical departments in order to identify areas for improvement. The results show that there is room for improvement and that there are differences between departments, particularly regarding surgical prophylaxis administered beyond the operating time, adaptation of the spectrum and duration.

Investigations of an increased incidence of non-Aspergillus invasive mould infections in an onco-haematology unit.

Aims Of The Study: Invasive mould infections are life-threatening complications in patients with haematologic cancer and chemotherapy-induced neutropenia. While invasive aspergillosis represents the main cause of invasive mould infections, non-Aspergillus mould infections, such as mucormycosis, are increasingly reported. Consequently, their local epidemiology should be closely monitored.

Assessing the applicability and appropriateness of ChatGPT in answering clinical pharmacy questions.

Objectives: Clinical pharmacists rely on different scientific references to ensure appropriate, safe, and cost-effective drug use. Tools based on artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) could offer valuable support. The objective of this study was to assess ChatGPT's capacity to correctly respond to clinical pharmacy questions asked by healthcare professionals in our university hospital.
