antibiotics. The recommended dosages and durations
of antibiotic treatment for common respiratory, skin, and
urinary tract infections are listed in Tables 1-3. Infectious
disease experts now recommend shorter treatment
durations for many infections to reduce the development
of antimicrobial resistance and minimize adverse...
