Antimicrobial resistance is a serious health concern with significant economic and clinical sequelae. Antimicrobial stewardship programs are increasingly being promoted and mandated in order to rationalize and reduce the use of antimicrobials in healthcare institutions and as a result decrease antimicrobial resistance. Several interventions could be used to improve antibiotic use that includes broad, pharmacy driven and infection and syndrome specific interventions. Each hospital should prioritize interventions based on its needs as well as based on the availability of resources and content expertise.
