Immediate action is necessary to restore and preserve antibiotic effectiveness.

  • “Dr. Peter Patterson is an original. He began talking about, training, and instituting antibiotic stewardship programs long before antibiotic stewardship was recognized as a necessity for our society and for the world. Although some have now taken up the banner, Dr. Patterson is the person who first brought antibiotic stewardship to light, and he has constructed practical and usable programs. These programs are now successfully being utilized in hospitals, nursing homes/skilled nursing facilities, and outpatient clinics. The medical field, and the world in general, owes Dr.Patterson a great deal of gratitude.”
