Bacterial resistance and pharmaceutical performance in promoting the rational use of antibacterials in a hospital scope

Abstract

Objective: To highlight in the literature the importance of the pharmaceutical professional in promoting the indiscriminate use of antibacterials in the hospital, acting in the prevention of bacterial resistance. Methods: This is a systematic literature review carried out by searching virtual databases such as Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Google Scholar, specialized sites, such as: Regional Pharmacy Council (CRF) and World Organization (WHO). Results: It is clear that the indiscriminate use of antibiotics is an aggravation that increases bacterial resistance, making it difficult to treat and prevent infections due to the negative results in reducing their effectiveness and variations in the sensitivity of bacteria to these drugs, which makes the use control of antimicrobials, by science and health professionals, challenging and relevant to the protection of the population in the face of the resistance that microorganisms have developed. Final considerations: Therefore, it is possible to conclude that the role of the pharmaceutical professional is extremely relevant for the promotion of the rational use of these widely prescribed drugs in the hospital environment and, consequently, the reduction of bacterial resistance.
