Abstract
The burden of disease caused by infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria is increasing worldwide. The reason for this is the inappropriate use of antibiotics. In addition to the development of new antibiotics, their rational use is crucial to slowing down the development of resistance. Antibiotic stewardship makes an important contribution to reducing the use of antibiotics by implementing programs, particularly in hospitals. In addition, "diagnostic stewardship" supports the targeted use of infectiological diagnostics to avoid mis- and overdiagnosis, thereby optimizing anti-infective therapy. The critical review of suspected penicillin allergies ("delabeling") also promotes the sensible use of antibiotics. Findings from healthcare research on antibiotics and diagnostic stewardship are increasingly being incorporated into infectiology and sector-specific guidelines.
期刊介绍:
Medizinische Klinik – Intensivmedizin und Notfallmedizin is an internationally respected interdisciplinary journal. It is intended for physicians, nurses, respiratory and physical therapists active in intensive care and accident/emergency units, but also for internists, anesthesiologists, surgeons, neurologists, and pediatricians with special interest in intensive care medicine.
Comprehensive reviews describe the most recent advances in the field of internal medicine with special focus on intensive care problems. Freely submitted original articles present important studies in this discipline and promote scientific exchange, while articles in the category Photo essay feature interesting cases and aim at optimizing diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. In the rubric journal club well-respected experts comment on outstanding international publications. Review articles under the rubric "Continuing Medical Education" present verified results of scientific research and their integration into daily practice. The rubrics "Nursing practice" and "Physical therapy" round out the information.
