Antibiotic Stewardship Quick Facts

  • Each year in the US, 2 million people acquire serious bacterial infections that are resistant to one or more prescribed antibiotics, and at least 23,000 people die as a direct result of these antibiotic-resistant infections.8 
  • An estimated 55% of antibiotic prescriptions for Acute Respiratory Tract Infections are unnecessary.’ 
  • The misuse of antibiotics costs the US healthcare system over $20 billion each year.’° 

Implications of Antibiotic Resistance

  • Increases mortality and morbidity from untreatable diseases. 
  • Increases risk of global spread of pathogens. 
  • Results in longer, more frequent hospital stays. 
  • Limits drug options at a time when pharmaceutical companies are developing fewer new antimicrobials.
  • Increases cost of research for new drugs.
