Aim: Antibiotic resistance is a growing public health problem, and one of the important reasons for this is an inappropriate prescription of antibiotics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the knowledge and perceptions related to antibiotic prescription among physicians in the emergency department (ED) and also to find out if the patient demand affects the physicians’ decision to prescribe antibiotics.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional survey of physicians working at ED.
