But the widespread misuse of antibiotics can also lead to serious consequences. In the case of post-operative patients, the empirical antibiotics should be selected based on the site of infection, etiology, and pharmacokinetics of the antibiotics. Therefore the rational use of empirical antibiotics is based on the increase in the total count and also the spike in temperature. The review is focused on the time, duration, rationality, and selection of empirical antibiotics, and antibiotic prescription patterns in different departments and different age groups.</p>
