| Abstract: | Resistance is a recognised problem that is affecting management of infection worldwide. It is a very complex problem that is potentially caused by numerous factors including use of inappropriate strengths and routes of antimicrobials, needless use of antimicrobials when managing viral infections, inappropriate use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials, use of poor generics and lack of development of newer antimicrobials with novel modes of actions. Antimicrobials are probably the only drug class where misuse can have a community effect. |
