The leading group of antibiotic was third-generation cephalosporins which accounted for 15.1 DDD/100BD of its maximum consumption in 2007. Ceftriaxone was the most frequently used.Conclusion: Analysis of antibiotic consumption, and multidisciplinary approach, has a crucial importance for further survey of protocols compliance concerning the antibiotic consumption in one hospital.Keywords: Antibiotics, Hospital consumption, ATC, DDD, Bacterial resistance.
