The Tokyo Guidelines 2018 (TG18) recommend 4–7 days of antibiotics post-biliary drainage. However, this lacks strong evidence and is based primarily on various evidence and expert opinions. Recent retrospective studies advocate for a shorter 1–3-day antibiotic course for AC, thereby prompting a need to reassess the treatment duration to balance therapeutic efficacy and minimize resistance and adverse effects. Choosing the appropriate duration and antibiotics based on susceptibility to pathogens causing cholangitis is important. Awareness of local resistance patterns and understanding patients' risks of resistant pathogens are prerequisite for effective treatment.
