What Is the Role of Vaccines in Antimicrobial Therapy?
Vaccines play a complementary role in antimicrobial therapy by preventing infections that would otherwise require antimicrobial treatment. For example, vaccines against bacterial pathogens like Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae type b have significantly reduced the incidence of diseases they cause, thus decreasing the need for antibiotics and helping to mitigate AMR.
