Antimicrobial Stewardship: Rationale, Impact
... Empiric antimicrobial regimens are often broad in spectrum in order to maximize the chance of providing activity against the infecting organism. Streamlining or de-escalation of empiric therapy can include: Adjustment of an empiric antibiotic regimen on the basis of culture results and other data. ...
