Clinicians recognised the potential role of antibiograms in improving empirical antibiotic prescribing choices. Establishing their baseline knowledge provides an essential starting point for the education needs of this group. This study provides practical recommendations regarding the presentation of antibiograms to ensure appropriate use and uptake as an AMS tool in RACFs. Pragmatic solutions suggested to overcome challenges of antibiogram development for RACFs should be applied and evaluated to determine feasibility of RACF-specific antibiograms.
