Image of systemic antimicrobial agents as perceived by physicians in a 900 bed hospital.

Abstract:

:A survey among hospital staff physicians was conducted in order to evaluate their attitudes towards systemic antimicrobial agents. Direct questions about the value of different agents and choice within pairs of antimicrobial drugs, stating the reasons for the preference, were included in the questionnaire used. Gentamicin, penicillin G and ampicillin were the most popular antibiotics among respondents. On the other hand, ampicillin, penicillin G, sulfonamides, tetracycline and aminoglycosides were the agents perceived as most often associated with side-effects. Low toxicity, bactericidal effect, diffusion in the body and familiarity with the drug were acknowledged as the most important attributes in choice of a systemic antimicrobial agent, but a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity appeared as a major determinant in the choice of these drugs when physicians were asked to select one substance from members of several pairs listed. The results suggest that certain important misconceptions may have played a substantial role in the prescribing habits of the physicians surveyed.
