TUNKOVÁ, Barbora
Adequate knowledge of antibiotic use is one of the main prerequisites for preventing the spread of antibiotic resistance, which has become a public health threat in today's world. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of gender, education, and industry (food industry, agriculture, or healthcare) on awareness of antibiotics and antibiotic resistance through a questionnaire survey (n=799) and to compare antibiotic consumption (defined daily dose per 1000 inhabitants per year, DDD) in 16 European countries for the reporting period. Women were found to be more knowledgeable about the effects of antibiotics than men (p <0,0010). There was a statistically significant effect of education level and relevant discipline on knowledge regarding antibiotic resistance (p <0,0010). The highest average antibiotic consumption (21.97 DDD) was found in southern Europe, while the lowest antibiotic consumption was found in the Nordic countries (15,62 DDD).
