ABSTRACT
The enormous increase in antibiotic resistance and the limited spectrum of new, effective antibiotics are the reasons why we should think about a rational approach to anti-infective therapy. The excessive and non-indicated use of antibiotics while treating critically ill patients can be found quite often in clinical practice. Antibiotic therapy is usually indicated empirically, or it is only based on therapeutic indecision, not just in ICU patients. The antibiotics are administered before taking a sample for microbiological analysis or there is no therapy adjustment based on the laboratory findings. The solution lies in antibiotic stewardship, which is the way to ensure that antibiotics will be sufficiently effective in years to come.
