Correct antimicrobial stewardship in patients with infectious diseases is a clinical skill that requires up-to-date training. Inappropriate use of antimicrobials has a negative impact on patients and contributes to the selection and dissemination of antimicrobial resistance. These resistances, coupled with the large number of clinical situations requiring antimicrobial treatment, and the number of molecules available, greatly complicate the management of infectious diseases today.
