Abstract:

The misuse and overuse of antibiotics have significantly contributed to the global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). This study evaluates the adherence to standard treatment guidelines for antibiotic prescriptions among healthcare providers. Through a prospective observational analysis of treatment patterns and audit report of admitted patients in the hospital , we assess the extent of compliance with national and international . The findings indicate a moderate to low adherence rate with frequent instances of empirical therapy, inappropriate antibiotic selection and inadequate documentation. Contributing factors include lack of adhere to guideline, inadequate Infection Control Practices, inappropriate bug drug combination , inappropriate dosing and lack of regulatory oversight. The study underscores the urgent need for continuous medical education , robust antimicrobial stewardship programs and effective monitoring systems to promote rational antibiotic use and mitigate the development of AMR..

Keywords: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), Antimicrobial Stewardship Program (AMSP), Standard Treatment Guidelines (STGs), HealthcareAssociated Infections (HAIs).
