Course Coordinator
William Couet, Poitiers, France
Course Objectives
- To broaden the concept of antimicrobial stewardship for specific patient settings, where appropriate dose and dosing should be performed according to peculiar characteristics.
- To better understand the meaning of colonization by MDRO and how to manage them according to their resistance mechanism with the best antimicrobial with the least selection pressure.
- To provide to ID specialists a scenario of future challenges of antimicrobial stewardship.
