Overview

Implementation of an antimicrobial stewardship program reduced carbapenem and linezolid use in a Peruvian hospital, indicating effective antibiotic management strategies.

Key Points

  • To assess the outcomes of an infectious disease-led antimicrobial stewardship program in a Peruvian hospital.
  • Implemented an ASP led by infectious disease physicians at a 107-bed hospital
  • Conducted education, guideline development, and audit without restrictions
  • Targeted meropenem, vancomycin, and linezolid usage in medicine and ICU wards
  • Reduced meropenem use by 57.1% and linezolid by 50% during intervention
  • Guideline adherence reached 84.7%, with most recommendations aimed at de-escalation
  • Post-intervention reductions in vancomycin usage of 76.7% observed
