Antimicrobial Stewardship in Pediatrics

Dear Colleagues,

We would like to invite you to submit your research on antimicrobial stewardship in pediatrics for this Special Issue of Antibiotics. Antimicrobial resistance is a global problem that affects us all. As clinicians responsible for human welfare, it is crucial that we treat sick people effectively, but we must also learn to be more prudent in the use of antibiotics. One option is to implement antimicrobial stewardship in clinical settings. Much in this area has been published already, but it is not sufficient, especially concerning pediatrics. This Special Issue therefore particularly encourages submissions in the area of antibiotic stewardship in the pediatric population. All clinical situations in which these could be effective in antibiotics usage optimalisation are welcome to submit. This concerns general pediatrics, perioperative management in all surgical areas, pediatric hematology and oncology, patients with immunological disorders, etc. The relationship between antimicrobial use and resistance also requires further investigation, and we welcome submissions in this area as well.
