Abstract

Opioid use in the United States has increased dramatically. Bacterial infections are common among persons who inject drugs (PWID), and there is a disparity in the care these individuals receive. As such, outcomes associated with these infections can be poor. Healthcare providers can address these disparities through optimal pharmacotherapy recommendations and assistance with changing approaches to the management of PWID.
