Preventing drug resistance involves several strategies:
1. Rational Antibiotic Use: Prescribing antibiotics only when necessary and choosing the appropriate antibiotic based on culture and sensitivity tests. 2. Patient Education: Informing patients about the importance of completing their prescribed course of antibiotics and not using leftover medications. 3. Infection Control Measures: Implementing strict infection control practices in healthcare settings to prevent the spread of resistant pathogens.
