ABSTRACT
•Antibiotic misuse accelerates the natural process of development of antibiotic resistance •The increasing antibiotic ineffectiveness is a threat to the practice of medicine, leading to an increase in morbidity and mortality as there are an estimated 750,000 deaths annually due to bacteria resistant sepsis •The presence of multi-dug resistant bacteria in North American and Europe has implications for the Caribbean •Education plays an important role in tackling antibiotic resistance •Although Caribbean physicians are aware of antibiotic resistance, this knowledge does not affect prescribing habits •Previous research among pharmacy students in Trinidad identified good knowledge, but the attitude towards use of antibiotics was poor •Research among pharmacists in Brazil identified causes of antibiotic resistance but the role of the law was not explored
