The burn patient is at high hazard for nosocomial infections (NI) as a result of the nature of the burn damage itself, the immune-compromising impacts of burns, prolonged clinic stays, and intensive diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. The aim of this study is to describe the actual epidemiology of burn wound colonization and infection in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the Service of Burns and Plastic Surgery at the University Hospital Center in Tirana, Albania. The study is retrospective clinical and analytical.

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate nurses' baseline understanding of diagnostic stewardship (DS) principles and the impact of an educational intervention on their knowledge and practices.
Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), driven by inappropriate antibiotic use, is a critical global health threat. Effective antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) requires integrating DS to ensure accurate diagnoses through proper test requisition, specimen handling and timely reporting.
Anti-microbial stewardship program (AMSP) is practiced only in tertiary hospitals in India, though, the lower tier hospitals remain the first point of contact in patient care. This study was conducted in lower tier hospitals to calculate antibiotic and multiple antibiotic prescription rate (APR, MPR) for common infections and finding existing strength of health system for optimizing antibiotic prescription. We conducted a cross sectional convergent parallel mix-method study in eight lower tier hospitals of three districts of West Bengal, India.
