DOI: 10.1080/23744235.2020.1839672
Abstract: Abstract Background Knowledge on bacterial co-infections in COVID-19 is crucial to use antibiotics appropriately. Therefore, we aimed to determine the incidence of bacterial co-infections, antibiotic use and application of antimicrobial stewardship principles in hospitalized patients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/01.ccm.0000648364.93220.a5
Abstract: Introduction/Hypothesis: Septic shock presents a unique challenge to antimicrobial stewardship, with previous data suggesting that empiric antibiotics are continued inappropriately beyond 72 hours. The purpose of this study was to characterize antibiotic use, adverse effects,… read more here.

DOI: 10.2147/idr.s364525
Abstract: Background It was crucial to use empirical antibiotics in febrile neutropenia (FN) patients. However, most patients still died from infection due to poor efficacy. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is a rapid microbiological diagnostic method. The… read more here.
