Mashup Score: 1Using antibiotics to prevent STIs - 2 year(s) ago
It’s hoped that taking the antibiotic doxycycline before or after sex might be new ways to prevent chlamydia and syphilis. This factsheet presents some of the research that has been done and the potential pros and cons of using this approach.

Thinking about using the antibiotic doxycycline to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs)? It’s a promising approach, but the worry is a possible increase in bacteria that are resistant to an essential antibiotic. https://t.co/xnoxIQazLn #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek

Amoxicillin for uncomplicated chest infections in children is unlikely to be clinically effective either overall or for key subgroups in whom antibiotics are commonly prescribed. Unless pneumonia is suspected, clinicians should provide safety-netting advice but not prescribe antibiotics for most children presenting with chest infections.

Often events designed to raise the profile of particular health issues or diseases are accompanied by statements measuring progress over the past year or so. For World Antimicrobial Awareness Week (WAAW), Nov 18–24, the message is somewhat simpler: know that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) exists and treat antimicrobials as the precious resource that they are. In a WHO video announcing WAAW, WHO…

Mashup Score: 65Global antibiotic consumption and usage in humans, 2000–18: a spatial modelling study - 2 year(s) ago
To our knowledge, this is the first study that incorporates antibiotic usage and consumption data and uses geostatistical modelling techniques to estimate antibiotic consumption for 204 countries from 2000 to 2018. Our analysis identifies both high rates of antibiotic consumption and a lack of access to antibiotics, providing a benchmark for future interventions.

Authors hope this country-level benchmarking of antibiotic consumption will inform future interventions. They also stress a need to improve drinking water & sanitation, vaccine coverage, & rapid diagnostic testing to curb unnecessary usage. #WAAW https://t.co/QTNg21A2AB

The study estimates that the global volume of antibiotic consumption increased by 46% from 2000-18. Even so, many people in low-income & middle-income countries lack access to essential antibiotics. https://t.co/QTNg21RDs9 #WAAW https://t.co/gMA1YybODE
