In 2014, the CDC officially recognized the need for antimicrobial stewardship within all U.S. hospitals in their publication of the Core Elements of Hospital Antibiotic Stewardship Programs. These programs outline opportunities for reducing unnecessary antibiotic usage, and provide guidelines for antibiotic prescription for common infections.
Antimicrobial stewardship teams in hospitals are encouraging optimal use of antimicrobials. [102] The goals of antimicrobial stewardship are to help practitioners pick the right drug at the right dose and duration of therapy while preventing misuse and minimizing the development of resistance.

[11] The European Union regulated in 2006 against antibiotics for growth promotion purposes. [12] It was estimated in 2014 that over 80% of the world's antibiotic use was on ...
