In low- and middle-income countries like Bangladesh, the situation is particularly dire. Nursing students are a concerned population as they have their respective part to play in antibiotic resistance. There is a lack of understanding about their knowledge, attitude and practice regarding antibiotic usage and resistance among this demographic.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methodology<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional study design was employed and third- and fourth-year nursing students were recruited for the study from both government and non-government institutions in Bangladesh. Data were collected using a self-administered structured questionnaire. Descriptive statistics and multiple logistic regression analyses was performed using Stata version 16.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 664 participants, 83.58% of the students demonstrated good attitudes (&gt;80%) and practices (&gt;80%) towards antibiotic resistance, while 57.9% exhibited good knowledge. Older students had higher odds of good knowledge (aOR = 1.29) and practice (aOR = 1.84). Female gender (aOR = 2.00), private-institution enrollment (knowledge aOR = 1.57; attitude aOR = 3.44; practice aOR = 2.25), and Bachelor of Science enrollment (knowledge aOR = 2.13; attitude aOR = 3.38; practice aOR = 2.44) were associated with higher odds of good KAP. In contrast, fourth-year students showed lower odds of good attitude (aOR = 0.09) and practice (aOR = 0.45). Knowledge was weakly but significantly correlated with both attitude (r = 0.18, p &lt; 0.001) and practice (r = 0.09, p = 0.041).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Nursing students in Bangladesh show promising attitudes and practices towards antibiotic resistance.
