Pharmacy professionals must constantly update their knowledge to make more accurate diagnoses for their patients” 

The development and spread of bacterial resistance to antibiotics is one of the main problems of infection control in most countries. Therefore, for example, the emergence of pneumococci resistant to penicillin or enterococci resistant to vancomycin, for example, should be recalled. The multitude of resistance cases has raised alarms about a possible global antibiotic crisis.

Another challenge in relation to infectious diseases is the emergence in recent years of several new diseases with high morbidity. of several new diseases with high morbidity in recent years, which requires an important level of updating in order to prevent new infections and reduce the morbidity figures for infections.
