“…Three approaches are proposed herein in this regard: Education: It is clear that no antimicrobial stewardship program can be successful without education. The lack of education on the prescription of antibiotics and the issue of antimicrobial resistance during undergraduate or medical specialty training has been previously emphasized in France and other countries [ 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 , 67 ]. The results of this survey confirm post-graduate education as a determining factor in the prescribing habits of dentists and suggest that practitioners, particularly those who have been in practice for a long time, should be made more aware of the need to improve their practices in the prescription of antibiotics for periodontal therapy.…”

The aim of the present survey is to investigate the use of antibiotics during periodontal therapy among French dentists with a focus on exploring potential differences between various groups of practitioners. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to different groups of practitioners including members of (i) the French Society of Periodontology and Implantology; (ii) the College of University Teachers in Periodontology and, (iii) private practitioners participating in the French general dental practice-based research network. 272 questionnaires were included in the analysis. Prescription patterns were globally in line with the current recommendations. Systemic antibiotics are most frequently used as a first-line therapy in necrotizing periodontitis (92%) and aggressive periodontitis (53.3% to 66.1%). However, malpractice still exists, including in the management of periodontal abscesses. Antibiotics are prescribed (i) less frequently for periodontal abscesses and (ii) more frequently for generalized aggressive periodontitis by members of the periodontal society and University college (p < 0.05). Amoxicillin (59.9%) and the amoxicillin + metronidazole (59.6%) combination were the most frequently prescribed molecules. Providing a high number of periodontal treatments per week, being more recently graduated, having a post-graduate certificate in periodontology and holding or having held an academic position/hospital practice were all factors associated with a better knowledge of and/or more adequate antibiotic use.

“…The answers to questions about students' general knowledge (questions [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] and specific knowledge and awareness of antibiotics use, resistance and stewardship (questions 24-40) are shown in Table 2. In general, the students had good general knowledge of antibiotics; however, the aspects where there was a greater lack of knowledge were the following: cefotaxime is a cephalosporin (question 10) and antibiotics cannot treat influenza (question 19).…”

Antibiotic resistance is an emerging worldwide concern with serious repercussions in terms of morbi-mortality. Bearing in mind that the inadequate use of antibiotics, by healthcare staff as well as by the general population, is one of its main causes, a multidisciplinary approach is required to try to combat it. The aim of the present study was to determine nursing students’ knowledge and awareness of antibiotic use, resistance and stewardship. A cross-sectional design was used. A total of 578 nursing students from the University of Santiago de Compostela (Spain), ≥18 years old of both sexes were invited to complete the Spanish version of the questionnaire “Knowledge and awareness of the use, resistance and administration of antibiotics” between February and April 2019. Students had a low level of knowledge about antibiotics, 4.1 (CI95% = 3.4–4.8), especially in relation to antibiotic resistance. As the students were aware of this deficiency, the majority affirmed (>90%) that the current curriculum of nursing degree should have more training on antibiotics and infection control. Nursing staff play an important role in the rational use of antibiotics and as teachers of patients, so their training could be key in fighting antibiotic resistance.

“…Even substantial scientific progress has been made on the objective assessment of farm biosecurity to reduce antimicrobial usage in food animal production [29], more education in ensuring that biosecurity practices are implemented is needed [30,31]. Recently published data addressing AMR have been focused on medical students [32][33][34][35]. A survey conducted in Serbia and Croatia was about teaching medical students how to prescribe antibiotics prudently [36].…”

Objectives As an important public health concern, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is related to lack of knowledge among healthcare professionals. Since the Global Action Plan on AMR highlights the importance of training all healthcare professionals, it is essential to focus our attention on the education related to judicious antimicrobial use. The current study was the first attempt in southeastern Europe to quantify the knowledge about antimicrobial usage and biosecurity measure among veterinary students.
