Investigating the role of pharmacist to control antibiotic resistance and Antimicrobial stewardship

Abstract

Modern medicine is confronted with one of its greatest obstacles in the form of microorganisms that have developed resistance to numerous intervention and the aforementioned phenomenon, known as antibiotic resistance, contributes substantially to the severity of diseases, healthcare expenditures, and global mortality rates so, as ann immediate investigation and delineation of the function performed by chemists, who are pioneers in the field of medicine, is imperative in the struggle against antibiotic resistance (Pulcini et al., 2018). Regarding this particular situation, Pharmacist execute a function that is absolutely critical and they occupy a distinctive position within the healthcare system due to the substantial function they execute, which is to facilitate the communication between prescribers and patients and they are widely recognised as frontrunners in the field of antibiotic treatment administration and distribution owing to their accessible nature to the general public and extensive knowledge of pharmaceuticals that is why components of this policy include the education of patients regarding the proper utilisation of antibiotics, the prevention of antibiotic misuse, and the observance of prescribed treatments. Furthermore, Pharmacist assume a substantial role in antimicrobial stewardship endeavours, which strive to minimise the transmission of resistant microorganisms and minimise the negative consequences of antibiotic use while simultaneously achieving optimal disease treatment and they are frequently required to perform duties such as evaluating antibiotic prescriptions, monitoring medication interactions, and providing feedback on treatment modifications as part of their participation in these programmes
