Little is known about antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance among people who inject drugs and people who experience homelessness. Here, we identify key antibiotic stewardship challenges unique to these important patient populations and outline concrete street stewardship interventions to better understand and/or ameliorate these challenges.Keywords
