Résumé

This single-center, observational, retrospective, before-after comparative study conducted in a tertiary care public hospital assessed the impact of discontinuing routine antibiotic susceptibility testing for Enterococcus faecalis in urine cultures on antibiotic prescribing patterns. Secondary objectives were to evaluate prescriber acceptability and the impact of the intervention by patient sex and on targeted antibiotic therapies.
