Özet:

 Objective: Antimicrobial resistance is an issue that threatens human health worldwide. One of the main factors responsible for theformation of resistance is the irrational use of antibiotics. The inappropriate use of antibiotics has many direct and indirect effects. Ceftriaxone and quinolones are the leading antibiotics associated with this condition, which is known as collateral damage. Inthisstudy, we aimed to evaluate the consultations requested regarding the use of these antibiotics in a cross-sectional manner. Materials and Methods: Ceftriaxone and parenteral quinolone consultations from adult patients hospitalized in our hospital between 01.01.2022 and 30.06.2022 were included in the study. Demographic data and consultation results of the patients wereretrospectively evaluated. Results: A total of 560 consultations from 538 patients were evaluated, of which 40.7 were women. Three hundred forty-sevenpatients 64.5 were followed in internal clinics. The most requested antibiotic was ceftriaxone 73.6. There was no diagnosisof infection in 82 15.2, and antibiotics were continued postoperatively in 75 13.9 patients. The rate of patients whowerenot cultured before treatment was 45.4, while the rate of patients who were diagnosed with infection but were not culturedwas36.6. Pre-treatment culture rate was lower and antibiotic withdrawal rate was higher in surgical units than in internal units. Conclusion: Resistance can be slowed down by the sensitivity of not only infectious disease specialists but also all physiciansprescribing antibiotics, the use of antibiotic stewardship programs and local guides, and education. Scientific studies shouldbecontinued to generate local and national data.
