The analysis contributes to debate on appropriate use by improving understanding its determinants, and may help define more effective health care policies reduce resistance phenomenon. Findings suggest that Switzerland exhibits relatively low levels among European countries. There are significant differences between cantons both per capita sales defined daily doses 1000 inhabitants (DID). Econometric estimations DID significantly related income, price, density medical practices, demographic, cultural educational factors. incidence bacterial infections is also relevant. Appropriate affecting community can be designed looking at crucial model their impact.
