Antibiotic allergy is a major barrier to appropriate antibiotic prescribing. Delabeling these false "labels" while recognizing high-risk phenotypes is increasingly incorporated into antimicrobial stewardship programs. We outline the current burden of antibiotic allergy and the modern multidisciplinary approaches to antibiotic allergy practice.

Antibodies, also known as immunoglobulins (Ig), are essential players of the adaptive immune system. These antigen-binding proteins are produced by B cells and make up 20 percent of the total blood plasma by weight. In mammals, antibodies fall into five different classes, which each elicits a different biological response upon antigen binding.
