Nurses play a critical role in antimicrobial stewardship, infection prevention, and patient education, yet gaps between knowledge and practice persist, particularly in low‐resource settings.
Abstract
Antimicrobial Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health challenge driven largely by inappropriate antimicrobial use. Nurses play a critical role in antimicrobial stewardship, infection prevention, and patient education, yet gaps between knowledge and practice persist, particularly in low‐resource settings.
We read with interest comments provided by Grainger and colleagues on their own experience of developing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) teaching for undergraduate medical education.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical public health challenge that disproportionately burdens low-and middle-income countries, including Nigeria. Healthcare workers (HCWs) play a pivotal role in both AMR propagation and control. This cross-sectional study assessed AMR knowledge, attitude, and practices (KAP) amo...

Inappropriate antimicrobial use in emergency departments (EDs) contributes significantly to antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Pharmacist‐led antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) can potentially optimize antimicrobial prescribing and improve patient outcomes; however, their specific impact in the ED setting warrants...

Abstract We previously described the impact of a fully remote tele-antimicrobial stewardship program at two small community hospitals. In this report, we demonstrate the improvement in empiric antibiotic prescribing practices for skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) at one community hospital, following tele-antimicr...

Abstract We implemented a positive reinforcement framework recognizing prescribers for demonstrating independent antimicrobial stewardship practices. In 2025, 222 prescriber actions were recognized, most commonly for avoidance/discontinuation of unnecessary antibiotics for asymptomatic bacteriuria. Most surveyed prescr...
