Abstract(s)

Background and objective: In the past years, the antimicrobial resistance has been increasing, partly due to its misuse, and this has been considered as a threat for the public health by WHO. The aim of this study was to evaluate behaviours and attitudes of antibiotics use among adults in the south region of Portugal, Algarve, particularly self-medication and knowledge about these drugs.
