Abstract

The management of infectious diseases is always complex, not only because of its high incidence and mortality, but the difficulty of designing effective treatments that minimize the development of bacterial resistance in the clinical setting. One of the most important options is the reduction of exposure to antibiotic treatment, optimizing by desescalation and shortening the duration of therapy.
