Twenty years ago, due to the increase in resistant bacteria at Melbourne Teaching Hospitals, we published the first edition of the "Antibiotic Therapy Guide." Studies have shown that excessive and inappropriate use of antibiotics is a significant factor in the development of resistance. Overuse of antibiotics can also lead to adverse reactions. The "Antibiotic Therapy Guide" collects some appropriate and cost-effective treatment regimens recommended by world literature, compiled and published by experienced and knowledgeable Australian experts. The "Antibiotic Therapy Guide" aims to help doctors use antibiotics reasonably. The suggestions in the book are not mandatory and can only be adjusted according to the situation. The treatment recommendations in this book strive to adopt approved methods of antibiotic use as much as possible, but occasionally, antibiotics that have been proven effective but are not yet included in drug information are still recommended. Hospital practice has shown that the "Antibiotic Therapy Guide," along with other measures such as drug use evaluation, specialized educational activities, and academic events, can make drug prescriptions more rational.
Recently, the use of antibiotics in the community has also decreased from previously unacceptable high levels. Increased awareness of media campaigns, as well as national fund projects such as National Medicines Weeks, community education, general practitioner programs, and feedback from health insurance, have all contributed to this positive trend. This "Antibiotic Therapy Guide" is also referenced by many peers due to its credibility.
