Abstract
Background: Antimicrobial prophylaxis is a critical step in preventing surgical site infection. The Antimicrobial Resistance and Infection Control committee (AMRIC) position statement summarises current guidelines on the maximum recommended duration of antibiotic prophylaxis for each surgical speciality. Our aim is to audit the use of prophylactic antibiotics by the breast surgery unit at one teaching hospital in Ireland against local and AMRIC guidelines.
