Abstract
This paper offers guidance on antibiotic usage in surgical patients. A policy is outlined rather than the comprehensive coverage of every surgical situation. The principles of antibiotic prescribing are given. The antibiotics available and their routes of administration are reviewed. Indications for the prophylactic and therapeutic use of antibiotics are discussed. Factors causing the failure of antibiotic therapy are considered in brief.Entities:
