situation in the Czech Republic
The occurrence of antibiotic resistance in relation to their increasing consumption is a worldwide problem. In the Czech Republic, outpatient
consumption of antibiotics is steadily increasing and the composition of the agents used is also changing. This selection pressure
results in growing resistance to antibiotics of bacterial pathogens causing community-acquired infections of the respiratory and
urinary tracts. As the results of antibiotic resistance monitoring suggest, a preference for certain groups of antibiotics at least reflects
the status of resistance to these agents.
