PY - 2014 DA - 2014/06/11 TI - Outpatient antibiotic prescribing in the United States: 2000 to 2010 JO - BMC Medicine SP - 96 VL - 12 IS - 1 AB - The use of antibiotics is the single most important driver in antibiotic resistance. Nevertheless, antibiotic overuse remains common. Decline in antibiotic prescribing in the United States coincided with the launch of national educational campaigns in the 1990s and other interventions, including the introduction of routine infant immunizations with the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV-7); however, it is unknown if these trends have been sustained through recent measurements.
