Knowledge and perceptions on antibiotic use and resistance among high school students and teachers in New Delhi, India: A qualitative study

Abstract

Although students and teachers exhibited poor knowledge about antibiotic use and resistance, they were keen to learn about these issues. School education programs and public education could be used to shape correct perceptions about antibiotic use among all stakeholders including children. This may help in the containment of antibiotic resistance and thus preservation of antibiotics for future generations.
