Clinical progress note: Antibiotic duration for common infections in hospitalized adults

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The evidence base supporting the effectiveness of shorter antibiotic courses for a variety of common infections has grown substantially, yet many implementation barriers remain. We examine recent data evaluating shorter antibiotic courses for bacteremia, community-acquired pneumonia, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and complicated urinary tract infections/pyelonephritis.
