Abstract: | The treatment of infectious disease is, in the great majority of cases, initiated blindly. In the hospital setting this is normally because the condition requires immediate therapy on a best guess approach, pending feedback from the microbiology laboratory. Community infections, particularly if not of a serious nature, are commonly treated without concurrent bacteriological investigation. It is therefore imperative that clinicians should have a detailed and up-to-date knowledge of species prevalence and local antibiotic susceptibility data in their area of practice. The aim of this poster is to present for this first a comprehensive set of data in order to assist clinicians reach better judgement in their antibiotic prescription habits. |
