Method for the management of antibiotic administration

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for determining the criteria from which an antibiotic administration to a human subject or an animal subject is to be initiated, modified, withhold or stopped. The method may comprise the steps of determining a first level of pancreatic stone protein/regenerative protein (PSP/reg) in a sample of said human subject or said animal subject and comparing the level of PSP/reg with a predetermined threshold. A level of PSP/reg above the predetermined threshold is an indication that the antibiotic administration is to be initiated or is to be modified. A level of PSP/reg below to predetermined threshold is an indication that the antibiotic administration is to be withheld or is to be stopped.
