Serena Barello et al. Trends Microbiol. 2023 Nov.

Abstract

International governments defined antimicrobial stewardship (AS) as an essential ally against antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Patient and public engagement (PPE) in AS was pointed out as an imperative requirement to be embraced. We discuss PPE state of the art in AS and methodological reflections on how to achieve its effective implementation.

Keywords: antimicrobial resistance; antimicrobial stewardship; patient engagement; psychosocial sciences; public engagement.
