Core Tip Antibiotic prophylaxis in cirrhosis patients has proven to be effective in preventing new episodes of bacterial infections and reducing mortality. However, the broad and fixed indication of long-term antibiotic therapy in these patients has led to an increase in the emergence of multi-drug resistant bacteria. The development of new strategies for bacterial infection prevention is currently under debate, thus reflecting the need for randomized controlled trials and local epidemiological studies to improve prophylactic antibiotic choice in patients with cirrhosis.
