Résumé
This Commentary discusses the finding of a study recently published in CMI (Langford B, Daneman N, Diong C, Marchand-Austin A, Adomako K, Saedi A, et al. Antibiotic Susceptibility Reporting and Association with Antibiotic Prescribing: A Cohort Study). It also discusses the available evidence on selective reporting of antibiotic susceptibility testing results, especially on the following topics: What is selective reporting and its forms ? What are the aims we want to achieve with selective reporting ? What is the evidence that it can achieve these aims ? Is there potential harm to the patient, and what is the evidence that this occurs or not ? Potential role of ESCMID and EUCAST ?
