Antimicrobial resistance is one of the most critical public health issue in this century . WHO declared antimicrobial resistance as one of the top ten global health threats that impend the effective management and prevention of evolving infections .
Antimicrobial resistance nowadays poses a big challenge because of the emerging of resistance to the antibiotics that previously effective and development of multidrug resistance infections with subsequent increase in morbidity, mortality and financial loss .
In spite of WHO health strategies that taken to face multidrug resistance problem, the burden of antimicrobial resistance in Europe is compared with combined burden of influenza and HIVS .while in USA the estimated antibiotics resistance infections is 2.8 millions and the related deaths exceeded 35,000 every year and expected to reach to ten million deaths with collective cost of 100 trillion USD annually in 2050 .
Numerous studies reported that self-medications, improper prescription, overuse of antibiotics, deficiency of antibiotics susceptibility test and limited knowledge and attitude of population towards antibiotics are the main factors that lead to antibiotics efficacy being reduced with long hospital stay. Other studies stated that the predictive indicators of MDR tragedy are age, gender, comorbidities, previous hospital stay or antibiotic use .
In low and middle income countries like IRAQ there is a difficulty in estimation the scope of antibiotics resistance problem and its evolving over time due to the lack of surveillance, besides alarmingly excessive antibiotics consumption added other challenges and urged us to aim this study .
