Thanks for writing on another topic very close to my heart. Great article. I think making doctors aware of the correct use of antibiotics can only go so far as reducing misuse cases a bit. What needed, and so far non-existence, is a point-of-care diagnostic test (think pregnancy test) that can tell the doctor on the spot what antibiotic is safe to use for a particular infection. Or, even in a simplest cases, confirm to the doctor that it is indeed a bacterial, not viral, infection and therefore the use of antibiotic is needed.
