Use of antibiotics in Montenegro in 2012 was more than double than necessary according to prevalence of bacterial infections and average duration of treatment. The structure of antibiotics was not in full compliance with the national good practice guidelines, but it was in accordance with data on bacterial antibiotic resistance in outpatient practice. It is necessary to initiate measures to rationalize the use of antibiotics both in terms of quantity and in terms of the structure of the most used antibiotics.
