Abstract

Antimicrobial resistance is a major problem in India with limited understanding of whether this issue is related to systems, prescriber characteristics, patient characteristics, or diagnostic technologies. In our survey, most of the issues lie in the easy availability of antimicrobials and the lack of electronic storage of medical and microbiological records.
