First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether adding infectious disease experts to primary care teams helps reduce unnecessary antibiotic use. Over 1,300 patients from six clinics in Spain took part. Doctors in the expert-advised group could call or meet with specialists to discuss tricky cases. The goal was to see if this support leads to fewer and better antibiotic prescriptions for common infections like colds and urinary tract infections.
