---|---|
Abstract | Objectives: Concern about Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and resistance has driven interventions internation- ally to reduce broad-spectrum antimicrobial use. An intervention combining guidelines, education and feedback was implemented in Tayside, Scotland in 2009 aiming to reduce primary care prescribing of co-amoxiclav, cephalosporins, fluoroquinolones and clindamycin (‘4C antimicrobials’). Our aim was to assess the impact of this real-world intervention on antimicrobial prescribing rates. |
