Article Synopsis
- Antibiotic Stewardship Programs (ASP) have been shown to enhance antibiotic treatment for Gram-negative bacilli bloodstream infections, leading to improved treatment optimization.
- A study conducted over several years analyzed the effects of ASP on patient outcomes, finding significant improvements in directed and overall treatment optimization, although empirical treatment improvements were not statistically significant.
- Despite these advancements in treatment practices, the study reported no notable changes in mortality rates, readmission, or length of hospital stays among patients.
