Hospitals test new plan to fight superbugs by cutting unneeded antibiotics
NCT ID NCT05568654
Summary
This large study aims to reduce the overuse of powerful, broad-spectrum antibiotics in adults hospitalized with pneumonia. Researchers are testing if using faster diagnostic tests at admission and having pharmacists recommend scaling back antibiotics when safe can shorten the time patients are on these strong drugs. The goal is to fight antibiotic resistance and improve patient safety by giving the right treatment for the right amount of time.
