Antibiotic Use Optimization refers to the careful and responsible use of antibiotics to treat infections while minimizing the risk of antibiotic resistance. This approach involves selecting the right antibiotic, at the right dose, and for the right duration to effectively combat bacterial infections without unnecessary exposure. By optimizing antibiotic use, healthcare providers aim to improve patient outcomes and reduce the spread of resistant bacteria. Strategies include educating patients about the appropriate use of antibiotics, implementing guidelines for prescribing, and monitoring treatment effectiveness to ensure that antibiotics are used only when truly needed.
