Commented on Pediatric Antibiotic Stewardship for Community-Acquired Pneumonia: A Pre–Post Intervention Study
There was a decrease in antibiotic use specifically for pneumonia, but due to the 1-day seminar, could there be potential underutilization for a period after? However, "Our data demonstrate that the implementation of an ASP was associated with a reduction in the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and macrolides and increased guideline adherence for the safe treatment of CAP."

Article

Commented on Impact of antimicrobial stewardship programs on antibiotic consumption and antimicrobial resistance in four Colombian healthcare institutions
Seems to be consistent across other studies in different areas. "ASPs are a key strategy in tackling the emerging threat of AMR and have a positive impact on antibiotic consumption and resistance."

Article

Commented on Financial Incentives for Infection Prevention and Antimicrobial Stewardship to Reduce Antibiotic Use: Japan’s Nationwide Observational Study
You would hope there would be a difference in antibiotic use, but if it was needed for patients, then incentives may not matter. "did not observe meaningful changes in total antibiotic use between the incentivized and unincentivized hospitals for ASP teams."

Article

Commented on Bacterial co-infection and antibiotic stewardship in patients with COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Interesting and important finding. "There is currently insufficient evidence to support widespread empirical use of antibiotics in most hospitalized patients with COVID-19, as the overall proportion of bacterial co-infection is low."

Article

Commented on Candida auris Admission Screening Pilot in Select Units of New York City Healthcare Facilities, 2017-2019
We can see how this was most helpful in the ventilator units of nursing homes. "This project demonstrates the utility of admission screening using rt-PCR testing to rapidly identify C. auris colonization among admissions to health care facilities so that appropriate transmission-based precautions and control measures can be implemented rapidly to help decrease transmission."

Article

Commented on Antibiogram and Antimicrobial Stewardship Program: Fighting Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Rationalizing the Antibiotic Treatment
More education and guidance are needed to improve antimicrobial use and prevent resistance. Evidence-based decision-making is important, especially for severe infections. "Antimicrobial-resistant bacteria are a growing burden on human health and a significant economic liability because of the harm they represent to public health. The reckless use of antibiotics and the subsequent trajectory of global health catastrophe it has set is generally recognized as a contributing cause to the fast emergence of antimicrobial resistance."

Article

Commented on Long COVID: major findings, mechanisms and recommendations
We continue to learn about the lingering effects of severe COVID cases. Increase in the risk of other medical conditions. "Future studies must account for biases and SARS-CoV-2 testing issues, build on viral-onset research, be inclusive of marginalized populations and meaningfully engage patients throughout the research process." "a significant proportion of individuals with long COVID may have lifelong disabilities if no action is taken."
