“…According to the findings, the majority of the participants claimed that antibiotics are effective against viral infections, and antibiotics speed up the recovery from most coughs and colds. Findings regarding the use of antibiotics against coughs and colds have been demonstrated in many studies [ 6 , 22 , 27 , 38 , 39 ]. As a result, contrary to the findings in the literature, it is seen that the participants in this study have positive attitudes toward the correct use of antibiotics, and their awareness of the use of antibiotics is high.…”

“…Therefore, students, teachers, and researchers in general, as well as healthcare personnel, should greatly support education in the judicious use of antibiotics. Undoubtedly, education is one of the effective ways to increase the awareness of individuals about the judicious use of antibiotics [ 22 , 23 ]. Universities are one of the most basic institutions where training on antibiotic use can be given.…”

“…There are many studies in the literature investigating the knowledge of university students on rational antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance in different countries [ 27 , 29 , 30 ]. Similarly, many studies were also conducted so far among nursing and medical students and patients/local people in Turkey [ 11 , 16 , 17 , 22 ]. However, there are only a few studies conducted with dental students [ 31 ].…”

The purpose of this study was to examine the opinions of prospective dentists and prospective teachers on antibiotic use. In this study, a survey method based on a quantitative research paradigm was utilized. A 19-item instrument was applied to the sample group including 414 university students attending to the Faculty of Dentistry and Faculty of Education. The instrument was composed of three main subscales in addition to demographic characteristics. The first part focused on attitudes, the second part focused on subjective norms, and the third part focused on the prospective dentists and prospective teachers’ intentions regarding the phenomenon of antibiotics use. While the dependent variables of the study were the participants’ levels of agreement in the subscales of the instrument, the independent variable was faculty studied. The data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, and the Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare the participants’ views on antibiotic use. The findings in terms of the faculties showed that dentistry and education faculties in our country prepare well in expanding their reasonable consumption of antibiotics. Yet, antibiotics are used more incorrectly by some prospective teachers than by prospective dentists. According to the findings in terms of subscales, the participants have positive attitudes toward the reasonable use of antibiotics in terms of the attitude subscale. However, the results from the subjective norm indicated that participants are influenced by their environment in their antibiotic use. Finally, the results from the intention indicated that participants avoid using antibiotics irregularly or frequently.

Medicinal plants, which are used as drugs to prevent diseases, maintain health or cure diseases, take place in areas such as nutrition, cosmetics, body care, incense or religious ceremonies, while aromatic plants are used in different industrial areas to give fragrance and taste are used. Flora of Turkey has a rich plant diversity. Secondary metabolites such as essential oils, alkaloids, glycosides, saponins etc. are the most basic products of the industry directly or indirectly. The vast majority of medicinal and aromatic plants rich in secondary metabolites exhibit strong biological activity (antioxidant, antibacterial, etc.). Therefore, these secondary metabolites are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry. The most common and practical use of secondary metabolites, which are also used as natural insecticides, is in the form of herbal tea. In recent years, the more side effects of synthetic origin substances, especially the resistance of organisms against synthetic drugs used as antimicrobials, have increased the importance of natural herbal resources and medicinal plants carrying these substances. Therefore, there is no doubt that the demand for secondary metabolites, which are natural products, will increase in the future. Flora of Turkey is an important source for natural products which will be developed newly.
