Prudent use and antimicrobial prescription practices in Ethiopian veterinary clinics located in different agroecological areas
Much of the prescription practice observed in this study did not adhere to the ASPs; there were significant discrepancies between the prescribed drugs and disease diagnoses. Prescribing antimicrobials for unrelated diagnoses may contribute to an increase in AMR. The study thus underlines the need for mechanisms to improve accurate disease diagnosis and prescriber adherence to prudent AMP in countries with limited resources.
