Abstract

Antibiotic prophylaxis aims to counteract bacterial proliferation in order to reduce the risk of infection in a patient. The emergence of multi-resistant bacteria, which can lead to therapeutic impasses, has prompted the international medical community to regularly propose programs to optimize the use of antibiotics. In collaboration with the SFAR (Société Française d'Anesthésie Réanimation), the GPIP has updated its recommendations for good practice in surgical antibiotic prophylaxis in children, and for short antibiotic prophylaxis in medicine. These recommendations provide a general framework based on the analysis of national and international data, and more often than not on expert opinion, and are intended to support the implementation of local antibiotic prophylaxis protocols specific to each team.
