Abstract

Antibiotic use during inpatient hospitalizations have a significant impact on both patient care and healthcare costs. Using data collected over a one month period in 2019 from inpatient hospitalizations, we aim to determine the most common indicated uses for vancomycin and piperacillin-tazobactam, along with the average days of therapy for their use in treating skin and soft tissue infections.
