And this is starting to take place - reducing fluroquinolones are one of the major cornerstones of antibiotic stewardship programs.
One of the problem is that they also work really well. A broad spectrum bactericidal antibiotic that works really well, isn't in the beta-lactam family (dodging both beta-lactam resistance and penicillin allergies) is very tempting to use.
It's a hard fight, especially in the outpatient setting, because of this.
