As reported by the carers, hearth in Bavi are treated with antibiotics frequently. The carrier rate of Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Moraxella catarrhalis was 50%, 39% and 17%, respectively. Ampicillin was used for 3.3 days on average (SD:1.8) and penicillin for 2.6 days (SD:0.7). Pneumoniae, 68% of H. Antibiotic medication and bacterial resistance to antibiotics. 82% of the children had at least one symptom of acute respiratory tract infection (ARI) in the 4 weeks prior to the study, and of these 91% were treated with antibiotics. Multi-faceted programmes to improve rational use of antibiotics in Vietnam are urgently needed. Respiratory isolates were tested for antibiotic susceptibility according to the standard disk diffusion method. To investigate antibiotic use and antibiotic susceptibility of respiratory tract pathogens in children aged 1-5 years in Bavi, Vietnam. Isolates from 145 children were susceptibility tested, and 74% were found to martguerita resistant pathogens. Influenzae and 74% of M. Influenzae isolates were resistant to ampicillin. Nasopharynx and throat specimens were collected from 200 children from randomly selected households in a demographically defined population. The existence of a large reservoir of resistance genes among children in low-income countries represents antibiotics a threat to the success of antibiotic therapy throughout the world. The most commonly used antibiotics were ampicillin (74%), penicillin (12%), amoxicillin (11%), erythromycin (5%), tetracycline (4%) and streptomycin (2%). Of the tested isolates, 90% of S. High levels of antibiotic resistance and high prevalence of multidrug-resistant strains were found among respiratory pathogens. Pneumoniae were erythromycin-resistant and 18% list of antibiotics of H. There was a significant difference in ampicillin and penicillin resistance between the group of children previously treated with beta lactam antibiotics and the group of children who buy antibiotics did not receive antibiotics. A questionnaire survey of carers elicited information on type of antibiotic used, duration of treatment, where the antibiotics had been purchased, type of treatment information retained by carers and episodes of illness preceding the study. Catarrhalis were resistant to at least one antibiotic. Influenzae sho high resistance to tetracycline (88% and cialis 32%, respectively), trimethoprim/sulphonamide (32% and 44%), and chloramphenicol (25% and 24%). The mean number of antibiotics (susceptible strains excluded) to which resistance was found was 2.0 (SD:1.2), 2.5 (SD:1.8) and 2.1 (SD:0.9), respectively. A survey of children in a Vietnamese community.OBJECTIVE. When deciding which antibiotic to use, 67% of the carers consulted the pharmacy seller, 11% decided themselves and 22% follo the doctor's prescription. Most antibiotics were obtained without consulting a doctor.
