A qualitative study of the real-world experiences of infectious diseases fellows regarding antibiotic stewardship.
A qualitative study was performed to explore infectious disease (ID) fellows' experiences and perspectives regarding their antibiotic stewardship training and their role as future antibiotic stewards. The investigators concluded that ID fellowship training was not successfully conveying the public health importance of antibiotic stewardship or the role of ID physicians as leaders of antibiotic stewardship programs. They noted that fellows were more focused on concrete tasks related to stewardship.

Infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship knowledge for selected infections among nursing home personnel.
This study assessed knowledge about infection prevention among nursing home personnel and identified gaps potentially addressable through a quality improvement collaborative. It found that, while 99.1 percent of licensed personnel recognized the definition of asymptomatic bacteriuria, only 36.1 percent knew that pyuria could not distinguish a urinary tract infection from asymptomatic bacteriuria.
