Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The global burden of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the most pressing public health challenges of the 21st century. To prevent further AMR, it is imperative that gaps in knowledge and clinical practice be resolved via cutting-edge clinical strategies, evidence-based tools, and multidisciplinary approaches that optimize antimicrobial therapy.
The aim of this Special Issue is to explore and promote innovative antimicrobial stewardship interventions that enhance the treatment of infections across diverse healthcare settings. This Special Issue seeks to highlight innovative strategies, technologies, and evidence-based practices that improve clinical outcomes, reduce AMR, and ensure the sustainability of effective infection management.
This Special Issue welcomes topics inlcuding innovative diagnostic tools for infection identification and treatment, strategies for personalized antimicrobial therapy, integration of technology and artificial intelligence in antimicrobial stewardship programs, clinical advancements in antimicrobial stewardship in low-resource environments, and advancements in antimicrobial stewardship in outpatient and community-based settings. Contributions are encouraged from diverse disciplines, not limited to microbiology, pharmacology, epidemiology, public health, and clinical medicine to provide a multidisciplinary perspective regarding treatment optimization. Additionally, original research articles and reviews are welcome and encouraged.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
