“…Since clinical pharmacology and therapeutics form the scientific basis of prudent prescribing (303)(304)(305)(306), it is imperative to allocate adequate priority to these subjects in both undergraduate and postgraduate curricula, and to ensure meaningful assessment of real-life prescribing skills (300,303,304,(306)(307)(308)(309).…”

Antibiotics changed medical practice by significantly decreasing the morbidity and mortality associated with bacterial infection. However, infectious diseases remain the leading cause of death in the world. There is global concern about the rise in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which affects both developed and developing countries. AMR is a public health challenge with extensive health, economic, and societal implications. This paper sets AMR in context, starting with the history of antibiotics, including the discovery of penicillin and the golden era of antibiotics, before exploring the problems and challenges we now face due to AMR. Among the factors discussed is the low level of development of new antimicrobials and the irrational prescribing of antibiotics in developed and developing countries. A fundamental problem is the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding antibiotics among medical practitioners, and we explore this aspect in some depth, including a discussion on the KAP among medical students. We conclude with suggestions on how to address this public health threat, including recommendations on training medical students about antibiotics, and strategies to overcome the problems of irrational antibiotic prescribing and AMR.

“…46 CPT is a specialty that possesses such inherent strength to address the recurrent transformation of therapeutic options. [46][47][48][49] Additionally, EACPT has advocated teaching-learning issues that need to swot and studied regularly by the Network of Teachers in Pharmacotherapy of Europe. 46 Finally, to conclude, there is an urgent need to take care and update medical education course program, both undergraduate and postgraduate, with special attention to the CPT section of pharmacology and therapeutics, to develop expertise about prescribing skills and safeguard human life.…”
