El surgimiento de un gran número de bacterias infecciosas resistentes a los antibióticos, asociado a la mala praxis en su utilización ha activado las alarmas por parte de varias organizaciones de la salud, las cuales están invitando a los profesionales en esta área a practicar la prescripción consciente de estos medicamentos y a llevar a cabo la vigilancia epidemiológica de bacterias resistentes. Entre las estrategias para mejorar la prescripción de antibióticos están las educativas, que buscan actualizar los conocimientos y generar conciencia con respecto al uso apropiado de estos fármacos. En el área de la odontología, diferentes estudios han demostrado errores frecuentes en la prescripción de antibióticos, ya sea durante cuadros clínicos innecesarios o como profilaxis antibiótica en personas sanas (Konde et al., 2016; Marra et al., 2016; Agnihotry et al., 2019, Angarita-Díaz et al., 2020). Lo anterior indica la necesidad de entregar, de una manera clara y concreta, herramientas de conocimiento para una prescripción consciente de estos medicamentos. A través de una escritura reflexiva y actualizada, este libro facilitará la comprensión de los conceptos básicos, lo que le permitirá al odontólogo, o futuro odontólogo, asociar el efecto de los antibióticos a las bacterias patógenas y los mecanismos de resistencia que ellas desarrollan, así como los elementos clave para la correcta prescripción de estos medicamentos. Posteriormente, comprenderán los tipos de infecciones y cuadros clínicos que realmente requieren el uso de estos fármacos, saria de antibióticos de espectro amplio y moderado, exámenes complementarios que son útiles en el diagnóstico y los aspectos legales para la prescripción de antibióticos.
