Antibiotic Awareness Week is an annual observance that raises awareness of the threat of antibiotic resistance and the importance of appropriate antibiotic use.
Here in the U.S., Antibiotic Awareness Week is November 18-24, 2022.
The DASON newsletter was first published in July 2013 and has been released monthly ever since. The November issue being released next week will be our 113th issue!
These newsletters provide insights from the DASON and ASET team of pharmacists and physicians on timely stewardship-related content. Past issues remain excellent resources for stewards and prescribers. To remind everyone of the broad array of content that has been covered, we have attached a list of all the DASON newsletter topics. These are all available at the DASON website using your member log in credentials, but we have highlighted a few here:
- October 2022: : IDWeek 2022: Highlighted DCASIP Research and Abstracts
