Empirical Antibiotic Usage And Therapy

[摘要] A medical "educated guess" is used as the basis for empirical therapy, which is a type of treatment or therapy that is based on experiencerather than complete or accurate knowledge. It is used before a certain medical diagnosis has been confirmed or without a full grasp of theetiology, whether it be the biological mechanism of pathogenesis or the therapeutic mechanism of action. The word has a similar root toempirical evidence and connotes actual experience. To prevent the selection of pathogenic strains that are resistant, empirical antibioticprescribing procedures have been put forth. Numerous methods have been developed to maximize the usage of antibiotics. The majority ofthese treatments fall into the instructional or restricting categories. Although restrictive measures are seen to be more successful, enforcingthem may be challenging and result in disagreements with pharmacists. The aims of any intervention should have the greatest influence onthe prescription of antibiotics.
