As well as emergence of resistant microorganisms, increased mortality and morbidity, adverse drug reactions and excessive strain on already limited healthcare budgets are the results of inappropriate antibiotic consumption [2-4].These findings provide compelling evidence of the need for more rational use of antimicrobial agents in all over the world [5-9].
