摘要
Antibiotic resistance is agent specific, and is not related to volume or duration of use nor limited to certain antibiotic classes. Antibiotics should be viewed as having little or no resistance potential or having a high resistance potential. Antibiotics with a low resistance potential should not be restricted but those with a high resistance potential should be restricted. The only effective mechanism to control antibiotic resistance is by limiting hospital formularies to include only antibiotics with little or no resistance potential. Physicians in the ambulatory setting need to be more selective in antibiotic prescribing and preferentially select antibiotics with a low resistance potential.
