Medscape Special Report on Antibiotic Resistance – Time for Change

Medscape Special Report on Antibiotic Resistance – Time for Change



To complement the White House announcement of its new National Strategy for Combating Antibiotic Resistance, Medscape created a comprehensive collection of resources for for those who would like to learn more about antibiotic resistance in the United States.  Along with many articles and videos, this collection includes:
  • A recent interview with CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden where he discusses the role prescribers and patients play, as well as lessons learned from the Ebola outbreak in West Africa;
  • An overview of the White House’s National Strategy;
  • The results of a recent Medscape antibiotic use and perceptions survey among patients and prescribers; and
  • An analysis of antibiotic prescription rates to children in the outpatient setting.
