When prescribing the antibiotic it’s necessary to rely on certain algorithms developed with the aim to provide the maximum therapeutic effectiveness and prevention of antibiotic resistant strains selection. The latter provision provides for a possibility to manipulate antibiotics of choice and rescue drugs.
