Abstract: The main purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice on antibiotic consumption for acute respiratory tract infections in the community residents in Quezon City. This cross-sectional study was assessed through the use of an online questionnaire via Google Forms. Through snowball technique and Cochran sampling, a total of three hundred and eighty-five participants were needed for this study. The link (URL) of the online questionnaire was disseminated via mobile chat applications (e.g., Messenger) and social media (e.g., Facebook) to the target respondents in April 2021 for one week. In this study, male community residents with high educational attainment, ages ranging from 26 to 35 in Quezon City, wee most likely to practice self-medication. Significant correlations were found in knowledge and practice of antibiotic consumption of respondents ((r= -0.449, p-value of 0.000), attitude and knowledge ((r= -0.331, p-value of 0.000), and practice and attitude (r= 0.676, p-value of 0.000). The results obtained in this study demonstrated that community residents of Quezon City had good knowledge, positive attitude and appropriate practice towards antibiotic consumption for acute respiratory tract infections. However, minor gaps were also discovered due to misconception and misbeliefs on the use of antibiotics. Hence, these results indicated that public awareness of proper antibiotic use as well as the rise of antimicrobial resistance should be strengthened.
