Antimicrobial prophylaxis
Antimicrobial prophylaxis is a preventive measure employed to reduce the incidence of infections caused by bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms. This proactive approach is commonly applied in situations where the risk of infection is elevated, such as before surgeries, dental procedures, or in immunocompromised patients. The selection of antimicrobial agents for prophylaxis is guided by factors like the type of procedure, the potential pathogens involved, and the patient's medical history. While antimicrobial prophylaxis significantly contributes to lowering infection rates, it is essential to use these agents judiciously to avoid unintended consequences such as the development of drug-resistant strains. In both cases, antimicrobial prophylaxis aims to enhance patient outcomes by minimizing the risk of postoperative or procedure-related infections.
