DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofy210.1302
Abstract: Abstract Background Antibiotic de-escalation is an important component of antimicrobial stewardship programs. Nosocomial pneumonia is the most common healthcare-associated infection with nonventilated hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) comprising the majority of cases. We aimed to compare antibiotic… read more here.
