U današnje vrijeme velika je prisutnost i upotreba antibiotika u liječenju. Oni se propisuju svakodnevno na bolničkoj i lokalnoj razini od strane liječnika opće medicine. Česta je pojava prekomjernog liječenja antibioticima, a posljedica je problematika rezistencije, odnosno otpornost bakterija i bakterijskih bolesti na antibiotske lijekove. Značajan broj pacijenata nesavjesno pristupa liječenju antibioticima ne pridržavajući se uputa liječenja, ne poštujući vremenski rok liječenja, a mnogi pacijenti štede antibiotik u svrhu kasnijeg samoliječenja. Edukacija o antibiotskom liječenju od strane medicinskog tima je vrlo važan korak za smanjenje bespotrebne i nedisciplinirane konzumacije antibiotika. Veliki broj oboljelih vjeruje da antibiotici djeluju na viruse, a ne na bakterijske infekcije. S obzirom na problematiku liječenja antibioticima, provedeno je istraživanje kojemu je cilj bilo ispitati znanje i stavove opće populacije o antibioticima i o važnosti pravilne primjene peroralnih antibiotika u svrhu dobivanja jasnije slike stvarne problematike. U istraživanju su sudjelovali ispitanici svih životnih dobi, različitih stupnjeva obrazovanja, ispitanici s i bez medicinske struke kako bi se rezultatima dobio širok spektar mišljenja. Istraživanje je provedeno online anketom na društvenim mrežama putem Google obrasca u periodu od 20.6.2018. do 20.8.2018. Anketa je podijeljena na dva dijela. U prvom dijelu prikupljali su se opći podaci o ispitaniku, a drugi dio sastojao se od 15 pitanja o općem znanju te korištenju antibiotskih lijekova. Istraživanje je provedeno na uzorku od 181 ispitanika.Nowadays there is an increasing presence and use of antibiotics in the treatment.
