*Excluding Metenamine. Before 1998 figures from Denmark do not include hospital use.

Possible success factors Multidisciplinary coordinating group- involving all stakeholders

Governmental support and mandate

Decentralised organisation and local ownership

Credible, scientifically based messages and actions

Clear communication and media strategy

Conclusions

It is possible to achieve a significant change in antibiotic use at the national level.

To be sustainable, political/financial support is needed.

Despite low antibiotic consumption resistance rates are incrasing
