Antibiotic Stewardship: Why it Matters

When antibiotics are overused, bacteria evolve to resist them. This leads to longer infections, hospitalizations, and even death. In wound care, the misuse of antibiotics can delay healing, increase resistance, and cause regulatory issues for facilities.

At Aegis Wound Diagnostics, we take stewardship seriously:

  • Our diagnostics identify exactly which antibiotics the detected bacteria are sensitive or resistant to.

  • Every result includes a PharmD-reviewed antibiotic guidance.

  • Facilities who work with us are better prepared for audits and infection control reviews.

  • We help reduce the use of broad-spectrum antibiotics and support optimal patient outcomes.

Aegis Wound Diagnostics is the #1 diagnostic choice for physicians in West Central Florida.

  • Physician-led. Evidence-driven. Built for long-term care.

  • Reach out today to join a better model for wound care.

we’re here to all your questions

Your patient is our patient. We work together to get the best results, at no cost to the facility.

We accept most major insurance carriers, and can work with other patients to get the best results for them.

Yes! We will take the burden of antibiotic prescriptions and monitoring off your plate. That’s what our antibiotic stewardship program is all about.

Of course you will.  Our reporting is best in the field, and your facility will have the documentation it needs to show your commitment to excellence in patient outcomes.
