In 2022, a survey on the topic of resistance to antibiotics revealed that 90 percent of respondents in Italy had obtained their last course of antibiotics from a medical practitioner, this was just under the European average at 92 percent. Only ten percent of respondents in Italy reported that they obtained their last course of antibiotics from a source other than a medical practitioner. This statistic displays how Italians obtained their last course of antibiotics in 2022.
