Antibiotic Resistance in Dermatology: An Interview With James Q. Del Rosso, DO
Antimicrobial resistance is a growing concern that threatens the effective treatment of infectious diseases worldwide. Efforts to mitigate the indiscriminate use of antibiotics that contributes to the development of resistance are urgently needed.
The following clips were taken from an interview with James Q. Del Rosso, DO, in which he spoke about antibiotic resistance in dermatology. He particularly focused on how dosing outside of the mutant selection window may be an approach to lessen the formation of multidrug-resistant mutants.
