| description | Antimicrobial stewardship programs play a critical role in optimizing the use of antimicrobials against pathogens in the era of growing multi-drug resistance. However, implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programs among the hematopoietic stem cell transplant and oncology populations has posed challenges due to multiple risk factors in the host populations and the infections that affect them. The consideration of underlying immunosuppression and a higher risk for poor outcomes have shaped therapeutic decisions for these patients. In this multidisciplinary perspective piece, we provide a summary of the current landscape of antimicrobial stewardship, unique challenges, and opportunities for unmet needs in these patient populations. |
