Optimal selection of antimicrobial, dose, and duration are key elements of antimicrobial stewardship programs. 

To assist antimicrobial stewardship efforts in the outpatient setting, KASIC has developed an adult outpatient treatment guide that provides empiric treatment suggestions for commonly encountered infectious diseases.

This guide does not take into consideration individual patient characteristics that may impact drug selection, dose, or duration and should not replace clinical decisions made by a provider.
