Antibiotics are the class of medication that prevent the infections that is caused by bacteria; antibiotics make it difficult to grow or multiply or directly killing them. But the widespread misuse of antibiotics can also lead to serious consequences. In the case of post-operative patients, the empirical antibiotics should be selected based on the site of infection, etiology, and pharmacokinetics of the antibiotics. Therefore, the rational use of empirical antibiotics is based on the increase in the total count and also the spike in temperature. The review focus on the time, duration, rationality, and selection of empirical antibiotics, and antibiotic prescription patterns in different departments and different age groups.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
