Association between bacteria resistance against antibiotics and people’s behavior and general knowledge about in antibiotic consumption.

Nowadays, antibiotics play a significant role in every healthcare system worldwide. One of the most important challenges with antibiotics is bacterial resistance against them which means the curing effects of antibiotics are being decreased by consuming antibiotics excessively or using them without a physician's order. This was a cross-sectional study based on a structured questionnaire. The population who participated in this study was 300 people, who were selected randomly from ordinary adults without considering any specifications. The analysis was performed in August 2022. The majority of the participants have reliable knowledge about antibiotic usage. Self-medication with antibiotics (SMA) is seen in 38.8% of the educated and 41.2% of the uneducated groups. 25.5% of those with a past medical history and 43.3% of people without a past medical history have experience taking medicine without a prescription. Amoxycillin is the 1^st (28%), Cefixime is the 2^nd (15%), and Azithromycin is the 3^rd most without-prescription used antibiotic. The academic education and non-prescriptive usage of antibiotics in our statistical society are not related, and the p-value was more than 0.05%. The present study adds evidence to the debate on emerging antibiotic resistance. People have good knowledge about antibiotic consumption. Self-medication with antibiotics is considered the leading cause of growing bacterial resistance to antibiotics. There is a need to sensitize the public about bacterial resistance and its negative impact on treating diseases with potentially harmful pathogens.
