Antimicrobial resistance and antibiotic stewardship programs in the ICU : insistence and persistence in the fight against resistance : a position statement from ESICM/ESCMID/WAAAR round table on multi-drug resistance
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a clear and present danger to patients in any intensive care unit (ICU) around the world. Whereas AMR may affect any patient in the hospital, patients in the ICU are particularly at risk of acquiring AMR infections due to the intensity of the treatment, use of invas...
