DOI: 10.1111/ijd.15495
Abstract: Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs have been widely recognized among the public health community. These programs focus majorly on bacterial infections, efficient antibiotic use, and measures to curb increasing antibacterial resistance. AMS programs are successfully established… read more here.

Antifungal stewardship in solid‐organ transplantation: What is needed?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Transplant Infectious Disease"
DOI: 10.1111/tid.13894
Abstract: Antifungal stewardship (AFS) lags behind antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) in terms of implementation, evidence base, and workforce experience. Solid‐organ transplantation (SOT) carries a significant risk of invasive fungal infection, with high associated mortality, and is therefore… read more here.
