Shortening the duration of antibiotic therapy is an important strategy for reducing unnecessary antibiotic use. Shorter courses of antibiotics may result in reduced selective pressure and resistance, reduced cost and length of stay, fewer adverse events and superinfections, and improved adherence. In this session we will review current data on strategies and outcomes of shortening antibiotic therapy in general, and specifically intravenous therapy.
