Comment on: ‘Antibiotic footprint’ as a communication tool to aid reduction of antibiotic consumption.

Author(s): Lipsitch M, Shaman J|Journal: J Antimicrob Chemother|PMID: 31314102| August 2019
We welcome the effort to identify simple, easily communicated measures of antibiotic consumption, of which the antibiotic footprint is one. In…
