Antibiotic committee in a hospital provide regular updates on antibiotic prescribing, antibiotic resistance and infectious disease management that address both national and local issues. Sharing facility-specific information on antibiotic use is a tool to motivate improved prescribing, particularly if wide variations in the patterns of use exist among similar patient care locations. The use of antibiotics needs to be improved not just to improve clinical outcomes and decrease healthcare expenditures but also to reverse or slow down resistance. Antibiotic guidelines have always played a major role in providing guidance to healthcare personnel in the management of infections. It is necessary to develop antibiotic committee in tertiary hospital in order to educate prescriber, pharmacist and nurses about good antimicrobial prescribing practice and antimicrobial resistance. Development improves review, support and plan implementation of clinical guidelines for antimicrobial prescribing.
