Abstract
This article presents a study on the development of an antimicrobial stewardship program in a university hospital located in Vicente López, Argentina. The program includes implementing a policy that requires prior approval from an infectious disease physician for selected antibiotics. The study suggets that despite having implementeed the program, several factors may contribute to amplifying and disseminating the problem of bacterial resistance.
