Evaluation of Short Versus Long Courses of Antibiotics in Critically Ill Patients With Gram-Negative Bloodstream Infections

CONCLUSION AND RELEVANCE: In critically ill patients with GN-BSI, there were no efficacy outcome differences in patients treated with a short course of antibiotics compared with longer. However, patients in the short group were less likely to experience ADE. These findings suggest that short courses of antibiotics are effective for GN-BSI in critically ill patients.PMID:38347703 | DOI:10.1177/10600280241231611
