Hospital antibiotic management in Hungary – results of the ABS maturity survey of the ABS International group

Abstract

Antibiotic stewardship cannot be conducted without appropriate resources (time, financing) provided by hospital management or the authorities. The technical background (microbiology, organizations, etc.) on which to build is already available in Hungarian hospitals.

As growth promotants in animals, the mechanism of the growth promoting effect of antibiotics is supposedly associated with the inhibition of the microbiota of the animals by the antibiotics, but the exact mechanism is unknown (Gaskins et al, 2002).…”

Antibiotic stewardship implementation in the EU: the way forward

“…In addition, the cost-effectiveness of these programs has not been evaluated at this time. The extensive literature published on programs in other EU member states further underlines the need for consensus development on best practice in Europe [20][21][22][23][24][25].…”
