Background: The overuse of antibiotics contributes significantly to the global rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Shorter antibiotic treatment courses have gained traction as an important antimicrobial stewardship intervention. They can potentially reduce drug-related side effects, healthcare costs, and selection pressure favoring resistant pathogens. This review synthesizes findings from randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on antibiotic duration […]
