Evaluation of Tigecycline Utilization and Trends in Antibacterial Resistance from 2018 to 2021 in a Comprehensive Teaching Hospital in China

For clinical application, physicians attach importance to detection of pathogenic microorganisms, but there is still empirical medication without bacterial culture reports. Therefore, an antibiotic stewardship program oriented toward tigecycline should be strengthened to curb bacterial resistance.
