Sammanfattning
The use of different antibiotics over many years has led to the emergence of infectious bacteria that are resistant not only to one but to several antibiotics. Antibiotic resistance in oral microbes is an issue of concern in general dental practice where antibiotics are, in some cases, essential. In recent years, a shift from narrow-spectrum to broad-spectrum antibiotic prescriptions has been reported, and the increase of bacterial isolates resistant to the narrow spectrum antibiotics is blamed for such a shift in prescription practices. The antibiotic resistance among oral bacteria in Norway and the use of antibiotics by dentists in Norway were recently evaluated by our group. Our findings revealed that oral bacterial resistance in Norway seems to be a limited problem. At present, advantageous prescription practices by dentists in Norway prevaile.
