Brief Summary

The inappropriate use of antibiotics by patients not only increases the growth of resistant bacterial strains but also, may lead to adverse side effects that range from gastrointestinal disturbances to fatal anaphylactic shock. To meet the challenges faced by the spread of antibiotics resistance, different approaches have been taken worldwide. One of the approaches which are commonly proposed is to engage instructional and educational campaigns among the health care personnel and the general population about antibiotic resistance and its dangerous consequences.The present study aims at assessing the knowledge, practices of antibiotic uses and resistance before and after educational sessions among second year dental students and a group of patients attending MIU Dental Clinics.
