Utilising cumulative antibiogram data to enhance antibiotic stewardship capacity in the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital, Ghana

ConclusionsLow to moderate susceptibilities coupled with high rates of phenotypic resistance warrant tailoring NSTGs to fit local contexts within CCTH even after considering the biases in these results. The cumulative antibiogram proved a key AMS programme component after its communication to clinicians and subsequent monitoring of its influence on prescribing indicators. This should be adopted to enhance such programmes across the country.
