Development and Implementation of Mobile Antibiograms to Optimize Empirical Antibiotic Prescriptions Among Prescribers in Tertiary Hospitals in Tanzania

Starting soon · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Antimicrobial Prescribing Practices, Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)

In brief

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical issue, especially in Africa, with resistance to common antibiotics reaching 100% in some areas. In Tanzania, limited access to culture tests and antibiograms forces healthcare providers to rely on experience for prescribing, heightening AMR risks. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of mobile antibiograms in optimizing empirical antibiotic therapy in tertiary hospitals in Tanzania.
