[Prescribing of antibiotics for respiratory tract infections in German outpatient pediatric care : Results of a survey of pediatricians and general practitioners].

CONCLUSION: Although most participants acknowledged the growing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens as an important problem, this survey identifies targets for ABS in pediatric outpatients with RTIs. Ongoing education and training (e.g., better communication strategies in response to parental concerns) should become mandatory for those who prescribe ABT for children with RTIs.
