Antibiotics have been one of the most defining breakthroughs in the evolution of modern medicine. They have reshaped our ability to treat infectious diseases, enabled complex surgical interventions, improved survival in critical care, and supported therapeutic advances in oncology, transplantation, and long term immunosuppression. Yet, their extraordinary potential is increasingly undermined by the global rise of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), fueled by inappropriate use, inadequate diagnostic support, and gaps in stewardship across healthcare settings. In this context, “Antibiotic Manual” has been conceived as a comprehensive, practical, and scientifically grounded guide to help clinicians navigate the complexities of antimicrobial therapy with precision, responsibility, and patient-centered judgment.
