This is sort of baffling. In the US chicken producers use very little antibiotics anymore. Why was this money not invested in the pork or beef sectors given their massive overuse of the drugs each year?? https://t.co/hAnamlK9TX #AntibioticResistance

These findings highlight that #antimicrobialstewardship teams make both recommendations to add and reduce antibiotic use, and with disproportionate acceptance, measuring antibiotic use alone may underestimate our impact. Also need appropriateness.

This also suggests a cognitive biases play a role in antibiotic use. For ex: "commission bias": doing something is preferable to doing nothing, "optimism bias": overestimating benefits and underestimating risks. This highlights the importance of behavioral science in stewardship
