Chad Michael Dittmar, Alexander Coughlin, Melissa O’Neal, Nicholas Piccicacco, Kristen GreeneAbstract
In this study of adult patients with uncomplicated Enterobacterales bloodstream infections, the median duration of antibiotic therapy was 12.3 days (IQR 9.6, 15). Compared to current literature, most patients had opportunities for shorter durations of therapy. Opportunities exist for antimicrobial stewardship programs to optimize antibiotic use for these infections.
