Some types of diseases that commonly occur in the lungs include: asthma, bronchitis, pulmonary obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pleural effusion and pneumonia pneumonia. Bacteria is one of the causes of those diseases, so the use of antibiotics is the main therapy for treatment both empirically and definitively. Antibiotics for handling non-TB pulmonary infections are levofloxacin, ceftriaxone, cefotaxime, azithromycin, cefoperazone, ceftazidime, cefepime, cefpirome, moxifloxacin, meropenem, amikacin, tigecycline, linezolid and vancomycin. The purpose of this study was to assess the quality of antibiotic use based on the Hospital Antibiotic Guidelines where research was conducted. The quality of antibiotic use can be assessed using the gyssens method. This research is a descriptive study using a cross-sectional design regarding the use of antibiotics with retrospective data collection from January to March 2019 at Pulmonary Departement, one of the Private Hospitals in Bandung. The results showed the percentage of antibiotic use was 69.29%. The most widely used antibiotic was levofloxacin at 23.15% of 108 regimens.
