Effect of Antimicrobial Stewardship on Oral Quinolone Use and Resistance Patterns over 8 Years (2013–2020)

Since 2014, several global and national guidelines have been introduced to address the problem of antimicrobial resistance. We conducted a campaign in a tertiary hospital to promote appropriate quinolone use through educational lectures in 2018. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate th...

We conducted a campaign in a tertiary hospital to promote appropriate quinolone use through educational lectures in 2018. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the changes in the following: prescription characteristics, trend of oral quinolone use, and antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria from 2013 to 2020. Antimicrobial use was assessed as days of therapy per 1000 patient-days. We found a significant reduction in unnecessary antibiotic prescriptions between December 2013 and December 2020. Significant negative trends were detected in the use of quinolones over 8 years (outpatients, coefficient = −0.15655, <i>p</i> < 0.001; inpatients, coefficient = −0.004825, <i>p</i> = 0.0016). In particular, the monthly mean use of quinolones among outpatients significantly decreased by 11% from 2013 to 2014 (<i>p</i> < 0.05) and reduced further by 31% from 2017 to 2020 (<i>p</i> < 0.001). A significant positive trend was observed in the susceptibility of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i> to levofloxacin (<i>p</i> < 0.001). These results demonstrate that the use of oral quinolones was further reduced following educational intervention and the bacterial susceptibility improved with optimal quinolone usage compared to that in 2013.Atsushi UdaKatsumi ShigemuraKoichi KitagawaKayo OsawaMari KusukiYonmin YanIkuko YanoTakayuki MiyaraMDPI AGarticleantimicrobial stewardshipunnecessary antibiotic prescriptionoral quinolonebacterial resistanceeducational interventionTherapeutics.
