title: [Strategies to optimize the use of antibiotics in hospitals].
abstract: The inadequate use of antibiotics is a clinical reality we are faced with day by day. The great peculiarity of this group of drugs is the inﬂuence they have not only on the patients and at the time of their use, but also of future infections and the general population, by favoring alterations in the resistance patterns of the bacterial microﬂora that colonize people. It is our obligation as experts in infectious diseases to work on improving the use of antimicrobials.
