Antibiotic overuse leads to AMR and abx toxicity. Growing evidence that short course ok. BUT may not always be the case and why RCT SO important.
Interesting trial in paeds UTI. small increase in treatment failure with short course. Where does this risk/benefit balance sit?

Modelling study for why shorter antibiotic durations reduces resistance: https://t.co/q5bubP9JZg

Shortening course most effective in high transmission settings...bring on the SHORTER trial!
