Abstract Background Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs have shown to reduce the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and health-care-associated infections (HAIs), save health-care costs associated with an inappropriate use. The primary objective this study was compare consumption cost agents using defined daily dose (DDD) direct antibiotics before after AMS program implementation. Secondary determine rate HAIs [ Clostridium difficile ( C. ), ventilator-associated pneumonia...
