AIM OF THE STUDY: The ecological impact of an over-use or a mis-use of fluoroquinolones (FQs) appears of great importance according to published data. With the objective to set up a regional antibiotic stewardship program, we conducted a regional audit on FQs usage. MATERIAL ET METHODS: Ninety general practionners and 15 health care facilities participated to this prospective study. Overall, 511 prescriptions were evaluated (276 from hospital physicians and 235 [46%] from general practionners). The compliance of FQs prescription with national recommendations and with a regional referential was assessed. This regional referential was established in order to preserve FQs. RESULTS: Only 14,3% of the prescriptions complied with the regional referential, even if the choice of FQs were in accordance with national recommendations in 56,8% of the prescriptions. Urinary tract infections (mostly non-complicated) were the most common indication for FQs prescription. CONCLUSION: Analysis of FQs prescriptions shows that there is a significant potential for FQs preservation in Franche-Comté.
