Abstract

During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ( SARS-CoV-2 ), disruption of antimicrobial stewardship interventions has become a matter of concern. Antimicrobial resistance and the many unintended negative clinical consequences resulting from antibiotic misuse and overuse will persist and may potentially be aggravated by the pandemic , making it necessary to measure its impact on antibiotic use in all health -care settings
