HealthTrust presents…”Resistance is Rising: Overview of Updated Guidance on Resistant Gram-Negative Infections”

Using antibiotics is essential in the treatment of many infections; however, organisms continue to develop resistance to antibiotics which limits the type of treatment options that can be used.
