Antibiotics are an important tool in prescribing treatment for bacterial infections. But in order for them to work properly, it is necessary to choose and appoint them correctly. One of the factors that should be taken into account when selecting antibiotics is climate. Antibiotics can behave differently in different climates. That is, an antibiotic that is highly active in a humid climate may be weakly active in an arid climate and vice versa. As the results of the survey show, doctors do not even think about the climatic factor influencing the action of the antibiotic. The article describes the main aspects of the influence of climatic conditions on the pharmacological activity of the antibiotic.
