Antibiotic consumption in Portugal - An overview

Abstract

Infections caused by opportunistic bacteria resistant to multiple antibiotics continue to be a major challenge in the hospital environment. Growing bacterial resistance results in compromising the success of immunosuppressive therapies and surgical interventions (transplantation), which associated with a high risk of bacterial infections during the procedure and post-operatively often culminate in the death of the patient.
