Description:

For providers.

Antibiotic-resistant bacteria cause more than 2 million illnesses and at least 23,000 deaths each year in the United States. Antibiotic resistance occurs when germs no longer respond to the drugs designed to kill them. Inappropriate prescribing of antibiotics contributes to antibiotic resistance and is a threat to patient safety.
