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.
