In this issue of Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, guest editors Drs. Emily Sydnor Spivak and Sage Greenlee bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Antimicrobial Stewardship: Where We Have Come and Where We Are Going. Throughout the last decade, the field of antimicrobial stewardship has undergone exponential growth due to heightened awareness of antimicrobial use and emerging multidrug-resistant organisms. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted systemic and persistent health disparities in the United States. In this issue, top experts provide a recap of the progress made over the last decade in antimicrobial stewardship and provide direction for next steps in this ever-growing field. Contains 12 practice-oriented topics including antimicrobial stewardship and pandemic preparedness: lessons learned from COVID-19; health equity considerations; antimicrobial stewardship at transitions of care; antimicrobial stewardship in immunocompromised populations; health system and tele-antimicrobial stewardship: the role of building networks; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on antimicrobial stewardship, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

The evolution of Antimicrobial Resistance is outpacing the ability to create novel antibiotics, which is proving to be a global problem in the fact of climate change, population growth, demographic shifts toward aging populations, emerging infections, and other crises. Therefore, clinicians are forced to use the existing antimicrobials more responsibly to preserve their longevity for generations to come. In a parallel vein, there has been a recent regulatory acknowledgement of the importance of prudent antimicrobial prescribing, mandating the implementation of Antimicrobial Stewardship across all healthcare settings. This is harder to manage in a non-traditional setting, which include long-term care facilities, outpatient care clinics, urgent care centers, and others. Given the trends in patient care in these settings—particularly where the aging community is concerned—this is proving to be a growing problem. This is troublesome even for spaces that have university and large hospital affiliations. There is a plethora of data describing the implementation and outcomes of Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs in acute-care hospitals with open-access, evidence-based guidelines endorsed by the Infectious Diseases Society of America. However, non-traditional settings often find themselves struggling to implement the same practices and procedures due to their unique needs and limited resources. There may be variability in access to resources, applicability, and patient-type. This book seeks to inform those in non-traditional healthcare settings on the principles, practice, and outcomes of Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs to improve patient care across all settings. The text begins by unpacking Antimicrobial Stewardship in nontraditional settings then covers specific environments, including long-term care facilities, outpatient clinics, and emergency departments. The text also covers special topics, including veterinary medicine, HIV, oncology, and immunocompromised patients, pediatrics, neonates, transplant, and critical care patients.

The National Strategy for Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria, published in 2014, sets out a plan for government work to mitigate the emergence and spread of resistant bacteria. Direction on the implementation of this strategy is provided in five-year national action plans, the first covering 2015 to 2020, and the second covering 2020 to 2025. Combating Antimicrobial Resistance and Protecting the Miracle of Modern Medicine evaluates progress made against the national strategy. This report discusses ways to improve detection of resistant infections and estimate the risk to human health from environmental sources of resistance. In addition, the report considers the effect of agricultural practices on human and animal health and animal welfare and ways these practices could be improved, and advises on key drugs and diseases for which animal-specific test breakpoints are needed.

21st Century Challenges in Antimicrobial Therapy and Stewardship addresses selected topics that are of importance in the practice of infectious disease management. The text starts by illustrating the global landscape of antimicrobial drug resistance, which influences antimicrobial use and therapeutic decisions in the clinic. The contributors explain the reasons for the spread of antibiotic resistance, the pharmacology of antibiotics of different classes, innovative drug delivery methods which can improve the efficacy and safety of new drug candidates and achieve targeted drug delivery as well as drug resistance monitoring techniques and issues in the practice of antimicrobial stewardship and infection control.Key Features: - 14 organized chapters on several aspects of antimicrobial therapy and stewardship- Introductory knowledge on global antimicrobial trends- Coverage of molecular basis of antimicrobial resistance in gram positive, gram negative and fungal microbes- Focused coverage on new developments in antimicrobial drug development, drug delivery, formulation and diagnostic tools- Information on unmet needs of patients and clinicians, including the treatment of difficult infections- Comprehensive coverage of issues in antimicrobial stewardship21st Century Challenges in Antimicrobial Therapy and Stewardship brings to readers - healthcare administrators, educators, pharmacists, clinicians and students, alike - the knowledge of the molecular basis of antimicrobial drug therapy, drug resistance in pathogens and current practices in antimicrobial stewardship programs. This knowledge, in turn, fosters an awareness among healthcare industry participants to collaborate in an interprofessional environment to combat multidrug resistanc
