• Resumen

  • In Reply: We agree with Drs Klausner and Kerndt that antibiotic stewardship is an important component of controlling antibiotic resistance, and we support such efforts as sound clinical and public health practice. For many bacterial pathogens, antibiotic consumption appears to promote the emergence of resistance, and judicious antibiotic use may reduce the prevalence of resistance.1
