OVERVIEW

Pharmacology of Antibiotics A Refresher Course for Nurses is organized by AchieveCE.

Activity Overview
Antibiotics are a familiar form of treatment to nurses. They are some of the most common and easily accessible drugs worldwide. However, this accessibility has led to the misuse of antibiotics and is a major cause of the threat known as antimicrobial resistance.
