The present work is the result of a research that investigates the theme of bacterial resistance and its relations with the teaching field and the discussions that address the health theme, generating the objective of this research: to verify the treatment of the bacterial resistance theme, addressed in books. didactics and their explanation of the importance of the correct use of antibiotics. For this, we used a qualitative methodology, undertaking a descriptive study of 10 (ten) biology textbooks indicated by the National Program of Textbook for High School (PNLEM / 2018). The analysis considered the presence of four criteria: C1- bacterial diseases and their treatment; C2- Bacterial Resistance; C3- Problematization of the theme Bacterial Resistance; C4- I encourage the practices of correct use of antibiotics. Of the analyzed books 80% are adequate regarding the teaching of bacterial diseases and treatment. The topic bacterial resistance has appeared in 50% of books with extremely short topics and shallow explanations. The problematization of bacterial resistance appeared in 70% of the books with a number of insignificant questions. Correct use of antibiotics appeared in only 40% of the books. We conclude that it is necessary to create other didactic forms for the teaching of these themes in the classroom.
