Antibiotic resistance is one of the most pressing challenges in modern medicine. The overuse and misuse of antibiotics have accelerated the spread of resistant bacteria, making once-treatable infections harder to manage. To address this, healthcare systems are adopting antibiotic stewardship programs that focus on improving prescribing practices, protecting patients, and preserving the effectiveness of existing drugs.

In this video discussion, Chelsea and Dr. G break down the fundamentals of antibiotic stewardship, why it matters for both patients and public health, and how hospitals and providers can implement practical strategies. Their conversation highlights not only the clinical importance of stewardship but also its potential to reduce complications, lower costs, and ensure better outcomes for everyone.
