Abstract

Abstract Trauma is a complex disease, and the use of antibiotic prophylaxis (AP) in trauma patients is common practice. However, considering the increasing rates of antibiotic resistance, AP use should be questioned and limited only to specific cases. Antibiotic stewardship is of paramount importance in fighting resistance spread. Definitive rules or precise indications about antibiotic prophylaxis in trauma remain unclear. The present manuscript describes the indications of antibiotic prophylaxis in traumatic lesions to the head, brain, torso, maxillo-facial, extremities, skin, and soft tissues endorsed by the Global Alliance for Infection in Surgery (GAIS), Surgical Infection Society Europe (SIS-E), World Surgical Infection Society (WSIS), American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST), World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES).
