Most of the students (&gt;90%) were knowledgeable about the names of antibiotics and importance of adhering to prescribed antibiotic regimen. Less than 50% were knowledgeable about antibiotic resistance in gonorrhea and resistance transmission among humans or animals to humans. Clinical-year students had significantly higher knowledge score about antibiotic use than pre-clinical-year students (10 vs. 8 of 15;\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001). Most students agreed that antibiotic resistance is mostly caused by human actions and antibiotic use and resistance should be taught early in a high school. Pre-clinical-year students were more-likely than clinical-year students to agree that alternative treatments are always available when antibiotics are ineffective. In multivariable logistic regression analysis, factors associated with higher antibiotic knowledge score were higher academic years (\n                      <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001).
