Of particular concern is the recent emergence of multidrug-resistant organisms among this vulnerable population. Accordingly, antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) programs have started to be introduced into the residential aged care facilities setting to promote judicious antimicrobial use. However, to successfully implement AMS programs, there are unique challenges pertaining to this resource-limited setting that need to be addressed. In this review, we summarize the epidemiology of infections in this population and review studies that explore antibiotic use and prescribing patterns. Specific attention is paid to issues relating to inappropriate or suboptimal antibiotic prescribing to guide future AMS interventions.Keywords: residential aged care, health care-associated infection, surveillance, multidrug-resistant, antibiotic prescribing, antimicrobial stewardshipLim CJKong DCMStuart RLDove Medical Pressarticleresidential aged carehealth care-associated infectionsurveillancemultidrug-resistantantibiotic prescribingantimicrobial stewardshipGeriatricsRC952-954.6ENClinical Interventions in Aging, Vol Volume 9, Pp 165-177 (2014)
