Most patients in the medical wards are prescribed with antibiotics are mainly related to respiratory tract infections, namely Pneumonia. Augmentin and Azitromycin are the commonly used broad spectrum antibiotic. Cloxacilin and penicillin group of antibiotic seemed to be more reserved for the severe cases and especially the nosocomial infections. Ceftriaxone and cephalosporin based antibiotic was given in the suspicion of gram negative bacterial infection such as the empyema. In my patients, the use of antibiotic is judicious and correct.
