Course Information:
This interactive case-based session will discuss classification of antibiotics,
mechanism of action, and an evidence-based way to choose treatment in a variety
of diseases commonly seen in the ER setting. We will address the real issue
of needing to use antibiotics immediately in septic patients but the difficulty
in always differentiating those patients who have bacterial diseases and
those who do not. We will discuss concepts of antibiotic resistance and
how to maximize treatment success while minimizing risk of resistance.
