Introduction

(                Recording               )

Antibiotics are foundational tools in modern medicine, yet their power comes with significant responsibility. Misuse fuels the global crisis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), while inappropriate selection or overlooking safety concerns can lead directly to patient harm. This critical activity moves beyond simple recognition to focus on the practical decision-making essential for effective and safe antibiotic therapy
