Abstract

Recently there has been a dramatic global increase in bacterial resistance. Phisician´s attitude affects the indication of antibacterial treatment. In order to know how they make their indications in daily practice we analyzed the answers to an anonymous questionnaire to 100 MD. Differences were found in the way of prescribing among physicians. Some of them administered antibiotics without having carried out etiological studies. There was also different response from clinicians and surgeons. This highlights the need for each health institution to have a protocol for the administration of these drugs.
