Guidelines for antibiotic stewardship in European hospitals were developed by the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) study group on antibiotic policies (ESGAP). This final version incorporates community antibiotic use strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Clinical Microbiology
  • Public Health Policy

Background:

  • The European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) established the study group on antibiotic policies (ESGAP) in 1998.
  • ESGAP formed subgroups to focus on critical areas of antibiotic stewardship.
  • Subgroup III specifically addressed antibiotic stewardship within European hospitals.

Framework:

  • The guidelines represent the final version developed through extensive internet-based discussions among ESGAP members.
  • A provisional version was previously made available on the ESCMID website to facilitate early feedback and engagement.
  • The development process emphasized collaborative input to create comprehensive and actionable recommendations.

Implementation:

  • This article presents the finalized guidelines for antibiotic stewardship in European hospitals.

  • The guidelines are intended for healthcare professionals and policymakers involved in antibiotic prescribing and management.
  • The inclusion of community antibiotic use aims to promote a holistic approach to antimicrobial resistance.

    • Implications:

    • Effective antibiotic stewardship is crucial for combating antimicrobial resistance and improving patient outcomes.
    • These guidelines provide a framework for optimizing antibiotic use in diverse healthcare settings across Europe.
    • The collaborative development process ensures the guidelines are relevant and practical for implementation.
