ABSTRACT
An antimicrobial stewardship educational initiative provided to physicians and pharmacists was evaluated at an academic medical center to minimize inappropriate treatment of asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB). A significant decrease in empirical antimicrobial use for ASB was observed after education. Multifaceted educational initiatives can reduce inappropriate antimicrobial treatment of ASB.
