520			_aABSTRACT: Antibiotics have been among the most commonly used drugs. However, improper use of antibiotics actively contributes to the persistent issue of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), which may be due to consumers' lack of knowledge regarding the proper use of medications. To address this issue, a quantitative correlational study was conducted on 398 residents using purposive sampling in selected Barangays in District 5, Quezon City. The study aimed to measure their level of agreement in knowledge and practices related to antibiotics through a survey questionnaire with Likert-scale questions, which was disseminated through both traditional and online approaches. Due to limited time, only 319 (80% of the target sample size) respondents participated in the study. Using net agreement rating, it was found that the respondents have inadequate knowledge but exhibit good antibiotic practices. Additionally, sex, health status, and reasons for taking antibiotics were found to have significant differences in practices. Educational attainment was found to have significant differences in both knowledge and practices. Notably, knowledge was found to be positively and significantly associated with practice (p-value = <0.001). Moreover, evident misconceptions and false assumptions were identified, and there was a high possibility of antibiotic stocking. The results from this study suggest that in addition to raising residents' levels of knowledge and practices, it is crucial to increase the population's understanding of the proper usage of antibiotics and the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance. Keywords: antibiotics, antibiotic use, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), knowledge, practices
