  • Description:
    Antibiotic stewardship, or improving how antibiotics are prescribed and used, is critical for optimizing treatment of patients who have infections, protecting patients from harm, and combating antibiotic resistance. In 2019, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released Antibiotic Use in the United States, 2018 Update: Progress and Opportunities, which included information on how antibiotics were being used across all healthcare settings and highlighted data, resources, and examples of advancement of stewardship activities. This update highlights new opportunities and further progress in antibiotic stewardship, and the importance of integrating sepsis early detection and management since the release of the last report in 2019. During the intervening months, the COVID-19 pandemic has changed healthcare delivery in ways that have had an impact on antibiotic prescribing and presented new challenges that will be important to address for continued progress. Continuing to leverage data for action to inform stewardship activities and collaborate with partners is a priority for CDC to preserve existing gains and continue to make progress to improve antibiotic use.

    Antibiotic Use in the United States, 2020 Update: Progress and Opportunities is a publication of the National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
