Practices, strategies, and challenges in antibiotic treatment and prevention of antimicrobial resistance from the perspectives of Romanian community pharmacists and general practitioners: a Goffman-inspired qualitative interview study

The Romanian socio-political system influenced the course of antibiotic treatment and the professionals' intended antibiotic related practices and AMR strategies. The study showed a theory-practice gap in health professionals' practices, leading to limited strategy integration towards AMR and increased antibiotic use. The study underscores the need for context-specific policies and interventions to minimize identified gaps.
