Abstract

The introduction of antibacterial agents led to a revolution in the management of bacterial infections. Unfortunately, today we are facing an emerging and increasing resistance to antibiotics that become a threat to public health in Europe and globally. Infections in children are an important topic because children are highly susceptible to infections and hard to treat. That is why it is very important to lower resistance.
