Abstract		Most patients admitted to a hospital due to infections are initially treated with intravenous antibiotics because of the severity of the illness and because they are also systemically affected. Many of these patients can be switched to oral antibiotics within 72 hours of the start of intravenous treatment. Sequential antibiotic treatment involves the changing from intravenous administration to an oral dosage form during a course of antibiotic treatment. This paper reviews the advantages, problems and some indications for sequential antibiotic treatment.
Summary		Večino bolnikov, ki jih zaradi bakterijskih okužb sprejmemo v bolnišnico, pričnemo zaradi resnosti okužbe in splošne prizadetosti zdraviti z intravenskimi antibiotiki. Pri mnogih bolnikih je možno kasneje (običajno že v prvih 72 urah) preiti na zdravljenje s peroralnimi antibiotiki. Prehod od parenteralnega načina odmerjanja zdravil na per os imenujemo sekvenčno zdravljenje z antibiotiki. V članku so prikazane prednosti, dileme in nekatere indikacije za sekvenčno zdravljenje z antibiotiki.
