Abstract

This research by Abdelsalam Elshenawy Rasha., investigates antibiotic prescribing practices before and during the COVID-19 pandemic at an English NHS Trust. It focuses on understanding the implications of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in the context of a global rise in multi-drug-resistant infections. Utilising a cross-sectional retrospective study, it analyses data from electronic medical records of patients with Respiratory Tract Infections, employing the WHO's AWaRe classification. The study reveals significant changes in antibiotic prescribing patterns during the pandemic, highlighting the urgent need for continued antimicrobial stewardship to ensure responsible antibiotic use and combat AMR.
