Core Tip	Treatment of infections has become problematic because of increasing global antimicrobial resistance. One of the major reasons of this is antibiotic misuse and over use. In order to make antibiotic therapy more effective, some guidelines are used. Although guidelines lead to improvements in clinical practice, no guideline can be sufficiently specific that can be applied to all clinical situations. For improving antibiotic implementation strategies, not only consensus-based but also evidence-based scientific methods are needed. This review highlights the knowledge and experimentation of expert physicians under the supervision of antibiotic stewardship.
