Dr. Jaspaul S. Bhangoo | Antimicrobial Stewardship
Antimicrobial stewardship is another key
aspect of viral vigilance in internal medicine, aimed at optimizing the use of
antibiotics and antiviral medications to combat infectious diseases while
minimizing the development of antimicrobial resistance. Clinicians carefully
evaluate the need for antimicrobial therapy, select appropriate agents based on
microbial susceptibility testing, and prescribe the shortest effective duration
of treatment to prevent the emergence of resistant organisms. Moreover,
clinicians educate patients about the importance of adherence to prescribed
antimicrobial regimens and the risks associated with misuse or overuse of
antibiotics. By practicing prudent antimicrobial stewardship, internal medicine
doctors like Dr. Jaspaul S. Bhangoo help preserve the effectiveness of
antimicrobial agents for future generations and combat the growing threat of
antimicrobial resistance.
