Mashup Score: 6A just transition for antimicrobial resistance: planning for an equitable and sustainable future with antimicrobial resistance - 6 month(s) ago
Antimicrobial resistance is among the most urgent global health challenges of our time, with an estimated 4·95 million deaths associated with resistant bacteria in 2019.1–3 That microbes develop resistance to antimicrobials is accepted as an evolutionary inevitability for their survival, driven by competition between and among micro-organisms in the natural environment.4 How to reduce the impact of drug resistance in the future is a matter of global concern, considering the consequences that clinically ineffective antimicrobials will have for health care and agricultural systems that have come to rely on these powerful substances.

Mashup Score: 40Antibiotic resistant infections and deaths rose in England after pandemic controls ended - 6 month(s) ago
Antibiotic resistance is on the rise in England after a decline during the covid pandemic, and “more dangerous strains of bacteria” are spreading in the community and hospitals, the UK Health Security Agency has warned. National surveillance data unveiled at the UKHSA annual conference in Leeds on 15 November showed that antibiotic resistant infections rose by 4%, from 55 792 in 2021 to 58 224 in 2022. Deaths from severe antibiotic resistant infections also rose over that time, …

Mashup Score: 33Improving antibiotic prescribing for uncomplicated UTIs - 7 month(s) ago
Prescribing patterns in primary care are key drivers of antimicrobial resistance Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a frequent reason for consulting in primary care and is the leading reason for an antibiotic prescription among women.1 Community acquired UTIs are caused predominantly by uropathogenic Escherichia coli, a pathogen with an increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance.2 Multiple studies have shown a direct association between antibiotic use and the selection and spread of antimicrobial resistance at the population level,3 including total antibiotic prescribing and proportion of broad spectrum antibiotics prescribed.4,5 Most antibiotics (80-90%) are prescribed outside of hospitals in high income countries. The pattern of antibiotic prescribing in primary care is therefore an important and modifiable driver of antimicrobial resistance. Quinolones have been used extensively for treating uncomplicated UTIs in some countries. This group of antibiotics is a key driver of resi

The pattern of antibiotic prescribing in primary care is an important and modifiable driver of antimicrobial resistance. A new study shows that antibiotic prescribing behaviour at the practice level can change. What can we learn from this? @arnfinnss #AMR https://t.co/pgcDSb1XzQ

Mashup Score: 1
Inappropriate antibiotic prescribing in doctors’ offices and other outpatient settings in the U.S. is a widespread problem that accelerates the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Among privately-insured patients diagnosed with common bacterial infections 31-36% of children received an inappropriate type of antibiotic.

Mashup Score: 11Sudan's armed conflict and risk of escalating antimicrobial resistance - 10 month(s) ago
In July, 2017, cooperation between WHO and the Sudanese Ministries of Agriculture and Forestry, Health, Animal Resources, and Fisheries yielded a National Action Plan (NAP) for antimicrobial resistance in Sudan—making it one of the first nations in Africa to draft an NAP addressing this matter.1 Afterwards, in collaboration with the Food and Agriculture Organization, the World Organisation for Animal Health, and the UN Environment Programme, the Sudanese NAP on antimicrobial resistance was launched in July, 2018.
