Antibiotic stewardship is a systematic approach to optimizing the use of antibiotics to combat resistance. It involves: 1. Selecting the Right Antibiotic: Choosing the most effective antibiotic with the narrowest spectrum of activity. 2. Dosing Appropriately: Administering the correct dose and duration of antibiotic therapy. 3. Monitoring for Effectiveness: Regularly assessing the patient's response to treatment and making adjustments as needed.
