Management of antimicrobial resistance in a hospital: current state and future prospects

Abstract

The analysis of the current state of antimicrobial resistance was performed and used as the basis for the implementation of modern tools of antimicrobial stewardship program in hospital practice. As a result, the structure of nosocomial pathogens and the prevalence of resistant isolates in a hospital were affected. Antibiotic consumption and economic burden of antimicrobial resistance have decreased, and treatment quality indicators for nosocomial infections have changed.
