Template

Do not treat every positive culture or inflammatory sign as an infection requiring treatment. Colonization and non-infectious mimics exist, and overtreating them drives resistance and exposes patients to needless harm. Do not equate a positive result with an infection needing antimicrobials without asking whether it reflects genuine infection in this patient.
