The irrational use of antibiotics is one of the main factors contributing to the accelerated development of antimicrobial resistance worldwide. Despite the regulations established to control the procurement of antimicrobial drugs, the rate of self-prescribing and self-treatment with antimicrobials remains very high in most countries. To plan further measures to combat this resistance, a thorough understanding of the current reasons behind this behavior is required. The aim of the study is to explore the general public's knowledge, attitudes, and behavior regarding antibiotic consumption.
