“…7,12 Detection of high levels of resistance to quinolones in non-exposed populations such as children, and especially in non-pathogenic microorganisms, suggests high quinolone pressure in the community. [24][25][26] Thus, in a study about trends in antibiotic utilisation in eight Latin American countries it was observed that the general antibiotic consumption in Peru increases 5.58 daily dose per 1000 inhabitants per day. 26 Regarding quinolones, Llanos-Zavalaga et al 25 in a comparative study addressed to analyse the antibiotic use in different Latin American hospitals showed that CIP was by far the most prescribed antibiotic, accounting for 17.5% of the total prescriptions.…”

“…Fluoroquinolones are frequently used in Peru, with ciprofloxacin identified as the most common antibiotic prescribed in a study evaluating prescribing practices in an urban outpatient medical centre in Lima [26]. Whether the very high quinolone resistance prevalence noted in Lima reflects a comparatively greater clinical use of ciprofloxacin in this region compared to others is unclear.…”
