Infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria can result in increased patient morbidity and mortality, as well as increased hospital length of stay.1-2 Antibiotic resistance frequently leads to a delay in appropriate antibiotic therapy.3 Inappropriate or delayed antibiotic therapy in patients with severe infections is associated with worse patient outcomes and sometimes death.4-6,9,1.

These infections have resulted in insert data on additional days of hospitalisation, morbidity, mortality, and costs where available.,10,Why inappropriate use of antibiotics contributes to antibiotic resistance the “why”,11,In-patients are at high risk of antibiotic-resistant infections,Misuse of antibiotics in hospitals is one of the main factors that drive development of antibiotic resistance.7-9 Patients in hospitals have a high probability of receiving an antibiotic10 and 50% adapt to national figure where available of all antibiotic use in hospitals can be inappropriate.11-12,12,7.
