Abstract:
Preserving the effectiveness of our antibiotics against pathogenic bacteria is a major public health issue, which is why the World Health Organization has made the fight against antibiotic resistance one of its ten priorities. The fight against antibiotic resistance must be implemented at international, national and local levels. Nurses, in close contact with patients, have a fundamental role to play in both pillars of the strategy implemented in France: in the prevention and control of infections, of course, but also in the proper use of antibiotics.
