Abstract		The paper presents data on antibacterials for systemic use (ATC group J01) prescribed in outpatient facilities in the period 1992-1998. The use of tetracyclines (J01A), sulphonamides (J01EE), penicillins with extended spectrum of activity (J01CA) and beta-lactamase sensitive penicillins (01CE) was decreasing during this period, while the use of newer groups of antibacterials, especially combinations of penicillins (J01CR), quinolones (J01M) and macrolides (J01FA) was increasing. Patient age is an important factor affecting antibacterial prescription. Their use is greater in children than in the adult population. In 1998, the antibacterial most frequently prescribed to children was amoxicillin, and for the adult population it was the combination of amoxicillin with clavulanic acid.
Summary		Prikazujemo podatke o predpisovanju antibiotikov na recept v obdobju 1992-1998. V opazovanem obdobju se zmanjšuje poraba tetraciklinov, sulfonamidov, širokospektralnih penicilinov in penicilinov občutljivih na laktamaze beta. Zvišuje se poraba novejših skupin antibiotikov, predvsem kombinacij penicilinov z zaviralci laktamaz beta, kinolonov in makrolidov. Pomemben dejavnik, ki vpliva na porabo antibiotikov, je starost. Poraba antibiotikov je največja pri otrocih. V letu 1998 so zdravniki otrokom predpisali največ receptov z amoksicilinom, odraslim pa kombinacijo amoksicilina s klavulansko kislino.
