Sažetak

In European Union 33 110 people die annually as a result of antimicrobial-resistant infections. This is due to an inadequate use of antibiotics, increasingly frequent drug shortages, and slow development of new antibiotics. Preservation of antimicrobial medicines is a significant public imperative imposing a high need for the implementation of antimicrobial medicines administering program by an antimicrobial medicines administering team (A-team). The evidence suggests that for the successful implementation of antimicrobial stewardship program with the responsibility of the physicians, the responsibility of a clinical pharmacist, as a specialist in the field of clinical pharmacy, is also necessary. A clinical pharmacist – through multidisciplinary collaboration, by using his or her pharmacotherapeutic knowledge and skills – significantly contributes to the reduction of antimicrobial resistance. Furthermore, the implementation of education
in the field of antimicrobial medicines administering program in postgraduate curriculum at the faculties of pharmacy is necessary in order to have more effective implementation of anti-AMR measures within the university program.
