    Since their discovery, antibiotics have served as the building blocks of modern medicine in infectious diseases. However, over time, reasons such as unconscious and excessive use of antibiotics in human and animal health, inadequate hygiene, inadequate application of vaccination and infection control measures have increased the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance.

The only way to maintain the effectiveness of antibiotics in future generations is their rational use. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to correctly diagnose infections by using evidence-based diagnostic methods.

“World Antibiotic Awareness Week” events are held every year on the week of November 18, in order to raise awareness in the society and healthcare professionals about antibiotic resistance and rational use of antibiotics, and to encourage good practices.

Antibiotics should only be used in the appropriate amount and duration under the supervision of the pharmacist, when prescribed by the physician. Antibiotics should not be used on their own or on the recommendation of our relatives, unless the physician prescribes them.

Antibiotics are not analgesic, antipyretic and cannot cure every disease. It should be kept in mind that antibiotics have no place in the treatment of infections caused by viruses such as colds or flu, and undesirable side effects can be seen with unnecessary antibiotic use.

In the fight against infections, it is also important to ensure that all necessary infection control measures are implemented, including standard precautions such as hygiene, sanitation, health care, and hand hygiene, and to carry out effective immunization programs in vaccine-preventable diseases.

The measures to be taken against the antimicrobial resistance problem are not limited to the health sector, but should be handled with a multi-stakeholder approach.
