La resistenza agli antibiotici è un fenomeno in continua espansione che ogni anno determina 700.000 morti, 10.000 dei quali solo in Italia. I dati stimano che, qualora la politica di utilizzo degli antibiotici non venisse controllata, nel 2050 si arriverà a 10 milioni di morti annui. Essendo l'Italia uno dei Paesi con il più alto tasso di microrganismi multiresistenti, è opportuno istituire iniziative di monitoraggio al fine di analizzare e ridurre questo fenomeno. Il presente lavoro di tesi, infatti, mira a descrivere l'approccio di un ospedale lombardo per la riduzione dell'utilizzo della classe antibiotica dei carbapenemi. Dal 7/01/2019 è stata istituita una richiesta motivata obbligatoria per poter richiedere i suddetti farmaci alla farmacia ospedaliera. I medici dovevano, quindi, inserire il nome del paziente, il tipo di terapia (empirica o mirata), il sito di infezione, il peso, la creatininemia, il tipo di molecola, la posologia e se l'utilizzo era stato effettuato secondo il parere dell'infettivologo. Nel caso di terapia empirica la richiesta doveva essere effettuata nuovamente dopo tre giorni, quando invece si trattava di una terapia mirata era obbligatorio allegare l'antibiogramma e la validità era di dieci giorni. I risultati sono stati ottenuti mediante uno studio prospettico dal 7/01/2019 al 7/01/2020.

Abstract
Antibiotic resistance is a constantly expanding phenomenon that causes 700,000 deaths every year, 10,000 of which are only in Italy. The data estimate that, if the policy of using antibiotics is not controlled, by 2050 it will reach 10 million deaths per year. Since Italy is one of the countries with the highest rate of multiresistant microorganisms, monitoring initiatives should be instituted in order to analyze and reduce this phenomenon. The present thesis work, in fact, aims to describe the approach of a Lombard hospital for the reduction of the use of the antibiotic class of carbapenems. From 7/01/2019 a mandatory reasoned request was established to be able to request the aforementioned drugs from the hospital pharmacy. The doctors therefore had to enter the patient's name, the type of therapy (empirical or targeted), the infection site, the weight, the creatininemia, the type of molecule, the posology and whether the use had been carried out according to the opinion of the infectious disease specialist. In the case of empirical therapy, the request had to be made again after three days, when instead it was a targeted therapy it was mandatory to attach the antibiogram and the validity was ten days. The results were obtained through a prospective study from 7/01/2019 to 7/01/2020.È consentito all'utente scaricare e condividere i documenti disponibili a testo pieno in UNITESI UNIPV nel rispetto della licenza Creative Commons del tipo CC BY NC ND.
