In a single-center matched case-control study from Melbourne, Australia, we demonstrate that a beta-lactam antibiotic allergy testing program has a significant impact on antibiotic usage and infection-related outcomes. This study supports implementation of an antibiotic allergy testing program as a standard of care of antimicrobial stewardship programs. | URI: | https://ahro.austin.org.au/austinjspui/handle/1/26853 | DOI: | 10.1128/AAC.01823-20 | ORCID: | 0000-0002-5111-6367 | Journal: | Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy | PubMed URL: | 32988819 | Type: | Journal Article | Subjects: | adverse drug effects allergy allergy testing antibiotic allergy antimicrobial allergy antimicrobial resistance antimicrobial stewardship beta-lactam allergy beta-lactams penicillin allergy |
