Abstract

Background: Antibiotic resistance is an increasing global public health problem that threatens the effective treatment of infectious diseases. In Yemen, inappropriate antibiotic use, self-medication, and weak regulatory control contribute significantly to the spread of antibiotic resistance. University students represent a critical group, as medical students are future healthcare providers, while non-medical students reflect antibiotic-use behaviors within the general educated population. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding antibiotic resistance among male medical and non-medical students at the University of Science and Technology, Sana'a, Yemen.
