Features: Antibacterial drugs are the main means of preventing and treating diseases and are widely used in clinical practice. However, in China, the irrational use, even misuse, of antibacterial drugs is very common. This not only leads to the waste of medical resources but also makes it easy for bacteria to develop resistance to antibiotics. Once resistance develops, it will be difficult to control infections, causing significant problems in treatment, and in severe cases, it may even endanger the patient's life. Therefore, the rational use of antibacterial drugs is an urgent issue in clinical practice. This book elaborates on the principles of tiered management, combination therapy, empirical therapy, and the rational use of antibacterial drugs in special situations. The text is concise, easy to consult, and highly practical, providing guidance for standardizing the management and rational use of antibacterial drugs.
