Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs (ASPs) are coordinated efforts aimed at optimizing the use of antimicrobial agents, such as antibiotics, to improve patient outcomes and reduce adverse effects. These programs are essential in the fight against antimicrobial resistance (AMR), a growing concern in both clinical and public health settings. ASPs involve a multidisciplinary approach, including clinicians, pharmacists, microbiologists, and infection control specialists, to ensure the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents.
