Learning about antibiotic stewardship is crucial for preserving the effectiveness of antibiotics, which are essential tools in combating infections. By understanding how to use antibiotics responsibly, health care professionals can prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, ensuring these life-saving medications remain effective for future generations. Additionally, antibiotic stewardship helps reduce unnecessary side effects and promotes better patient outcomes, contributing to overall public health.
