Antimicrobial resistance genes in raw milk for human consumption [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2020
Abstract The increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant threat to global health. More and more multi-drug-resistant bacterial strains cause life-threatening infections and the death of thousands of people each year.

Investigating the cultural and contextual determinants of antimicrobial stewardship programmes across low-, middle- and high-income countries—A qualitative study [PDF]

, 2018
Background Most of the evidence on antimicrobial stewardship programmes (ASP) to help sustain the effectiveness of antimicrobials is generated in high income countries. We report a study investigating implementation of ASP in secondary care across low-,

Antimicrobial consumption and impact of antimicrobial stewardship programmes in long-term care facilities [PDF]

Clinical Microbiology and Infection, 2019
Antimicrobials are among the most frequently prescribed drugs in long-term care facilities (LTCFs). Implementation of antimicrobial stewardship programmes (ASPs) is often challenging because of scarce data in this setting.This narrative review aimed to provide data about antibiotic consumption in LTCFs and the need, implementation, and organization of ...

Kinetic Patterns of Antibiotic Consumption in German Acute Care Hospitals from 2017 to 2023

Antibiotics
Background: Antimicrobial consumption (AMC) patterns, besides prescribing behaviors, reflect the changing epidemiology of infectious diseases. Routine surveillance data have been used to investigate the development of AMC from 2017 to 2023 and the impact

Antimicrobials in mink – consumption and resistance patterns

, 2012
Use of antimicrobials in the mink production is of vital importance for controlling diseases. However, the increasing risk of developing antimicrobial resistant bacteria as a consequence of the medical treatment requires special attention to ensure continuing availability of antimicrobials for which the bacteria are fully susceptible.

Antimicrobial consumption: Comparison of three different data collection methods

Preventive Veterinary Medicine, 2021
The increasing incidence of antimicrobial resistance represents a global threat. As a result, surveillance programmes monitoring antimicrobial consumption and resistance in animals have been implemented in several countries throughout the world. However, such programmes depend on the accurate and detailed collection of data on antimicrobial consumption.
