Description
Summary:A descriptive and cross-sectional study on the use of prescription-indication medications of the 303 adults that received antimicrobian treatment was carried out. They were admitted to the Intensive Care, Internal Medicine and Surgery services of  "Orlando Pantoja Tamayo" General Hospital in Contramaestre, from January to June, 2015, aimed at evaluating the prescription of these medications and their relationship with the bacterial resistance. In the series, there was a prevalence of inadequate prescriptions (82.3%) from a total of 568 that were evaluated; also, the most prescribed antimicrobians were the cefuroxime and the ceftriaxone  that also presented the highest number of resistant stumps and the Staphylococcus aureus was the germ with higher resistance.
