Choice of Rational Antibiotic Therapy in Children with Bacterial Respiratory Diseases in the Conditions of Increased Antibiotic Resistance

Abstract

The paper deals with the problem of etiology of bacterial respiratory diseases in children, as well as antibiotic resistance of clinical strains of this disease pathogen. It is found that in 52.7% of cases, the pathogens of bacterial respiratory diseases in children were bacteria of Haemophilus species. The analysis of antibioticograms showed that at the present stage, the third generation cephalosporins are the initial antibiotics for empirical treatment of bacterial respiratory infections in children.
