| | Judicious and Prudent Antimicrobial Drug Use Principles for Food Fish Veterinarians |
 | | This is of particular concern if the extralabel drug is in the same class as a human antimicrobial drug that may be the primary or sole treatment for a human infection. | | | Choose antimicrobial drugs of lesser importance in human medicine, if these receive future food fish use approval, and not choose an antimicrobial for which emergence of resistance is expected to be in an advanced stage. | | | Choose an antimicrobial drug and treatment regimen based on available laboratory and label (including package insert) information, additional data in the literature and consideration of the pharmacokinetics, spectrum and pharmacodynamics of the drug. |

| | Clinical decision system helps reduce inappropriate antimicrobial prescribing |
| | The relative decrease in antimicrobial prescribing for visits in the antibiotics "never-indicated" category during the post-intervention period was 32 percent in CDSS communities and 5 percent in community intervention-alone communities. | | | "All interventions for improving appropriate use of antimicrobial drugs must be introduced and promoted in the context of efforts to improve awareness among the public and to further educate prescribers. | | | More potent interventions that sustain greater improvements in antimicrobial use may be needed to adequately control antimicrobial resistance," the researchers conclude. |

| | 2001.05.21: (Fact Sheet) Antimicrobial Resistance: The Public Health Response |
| | Antimicrobial resistance occurs when microbes adapt to survive the use of medications meant to kill or weaken them - making the infection more difficult or even impossible to treat. | | | In addition, AHRQ funds various studies on the use of antimicrobial drugs and antimicrobial resistance, including ongoing research on reducing unnecessary antimicrobial prescribing in children. | | | The action plan promotes expanding existing research in antimicrobial resistance and related fields in an effort to improve treatments and outcomes. |
