Behavioral Economics and Ambulatory Antibiotic Stewardship: A Narrative Review.

Clinical therapeutics

Richards AR, Linder JA.
PMID: 34702589
Clin Ther. 2021 Oct;43(10):1654-1667. doi: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2021.08.004. Epub 2021 Oct 23.

PURPOSE: Behavioral economics recognizes that contextual, psychological, social, and emotional factors powerfully influence decision-making. Behavioral economics has the potential to provide a better understanding of, and, through subtle environmental changes, or "nudges," improve persistent quality-of-care challenges, like ambulatory antibiotic...

In Vitro Models for the Study of the Intracellular Activity of Antibiotics.

Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)

Peyrusson F, Nguyen TK, Buyck JM, Lemaire S, Wang G, Seral C, Tulkens PM, Van Bambeke F.
PMID: 34590263
