Antibiotics are not necessary in most respiratory infections such as bronchitis, pharyngitis or otitis that we consult with our primary care professionals. However, antibiotics are often used in these infections, which causes microbes to become resistant to these drugs and lose efficiency when we really need them. This problem is one of the main health challenges of today’s world population. In this context, researchers from IR Sant Pau together with family doctors, paediatricians and nurses from primary care centres throughout Spain have studied a new strategy to improve the good use of antibiotics: the differentiated prescription of antibiotics. In this strategy the patient and time are key.
