摘要
In a recent report, Dingle et al showed that national intervention programs aimed at judicious antimicrobial usage, especially restrictions to fluoroquinolones, contributed to a significant decrease in Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in England.1 This is considered an outstanding achievement in combating antimicrobial resistance worldwide. © 2017 Xiao et al.
