My amazing former resident put a nice review together in @PharmacoJournal of where data supports short-course antibiotic therapy that just published. The goal was to provide a central reference for #antimicrobialstewardship programs. Hope its useful.https://t.co/6U0GHmJ6dq pic.twitter.com/bSnE5XkAht
