[Prevention of antibiotic resistance needs informed parents].
Antibiotic resistance is becoming worldwide a major challenge. Increasing rate of multidrug resistant bacteria is directly linked with the consumption of antibiotic. Children are the greatest consumers of antibiotics, but this large pediatric prescription is not justified, and responds, at least in part, to a "parental pressure". Therefore information to the parents about antibiotic is recommended. In order to promote this information the American Academy of Pediatrics recently wrote a booklet entitled "Your child and antibiotics" which is presented.
