Multidrug Resistance (MDR): A Widespread Phenomenon in Pharmacological Therapies

Alessia Catalano et al.

Summary: Multidrug resistance, including resistance to anticancer agents and antimicrobial drugs, is a significant concern in public health. The widespread use of antibiotics has led to the emergence of pathogenic bacteria resistant to multiple drugs, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may worsen antimicrobial resistance. Nanodrug delivery systems have shown promise in overcoming resistance.

Changes in antibiotic prescribing following COVID-19 restrictions: Lessons for post-pandemic antibiotic stewardship

Malcolm B. Gillies et al.

Summary: The study examined the impact of COVID-19 restrictions on antibiotic dispensing trends in Australia, finding a significant reduction in antibiotics prescribed for respiratory infections coinciding with the increase in telehealth consultations. The findings suggest the potential to reduce inappropriate prescribing for respiratory viral infections by GPs and specialists in a post-pandemic setting.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus poses a severe threat to public health. The search for vaccines has led to the approval of about twenty COVID-19 vaccines, but new genetic mutations and variants continue to emerge, necessitating pharmacological treatments.Various treatments, including antivirals, antibiotics, immunomodulators, vitamins, and drug repositioning, are being used to combat the spread of the virus.

Evolution of Antimicrobial Consumption During the First Wave of COVID-19 Pandemic

Santiago Grau et al.

Summary: The study found an increase in antimicrobial consumption during the first wave of COVID-19 pandemic, especially in the ICU. Different antibiotics showed a clear temporal pattern in their usage. Availability of updated protocols and antimicrobial stewardship programs are essential to optimize these outcomes.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Community Antibiotic Prescribing and Stewardship: A Qualitative Interview Study with General Practitioners in England

Aleksandra J. Borek et al.

Summary: The study found that the COVID-19 pandemic had impacted antibiotic prescribing and antimicrobial stewardship in general practice in England, leading to lower thresholds for prescribing antibiotics and changes in consultation methods. Participants reported decreased engagement with AMS due to COVID-19-related urgent priorities. Re-engagement with AMS is needed to identify opportunities for future management of infections and AMS.

Key considerations on the potential impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on antimicrobial resistance research and surveillance

Jesus Rodriguez-Bano et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, inappropriate and excessive antibiotic prescribing in SARS-CoV-2 patients has highlighted weaknesses in antimicrobial stewardship programs, with a deprioritization of surveillance and containment of antimicrobial resistance. Long-term global surveillance, implementation research, and internationally coordinated AMR research are necessary to prepare for future challenges from emerging resistance in the context of current and future pandemics.

Surveillance of Antibacterial Usage during the COVID-19 Pandemic in England, 2020

Amelia Andrews et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a decrease in antibacterial prescribing in the community, while overall antibacterial use in hospitals decreased, with increases observed in specific antibacterials. This emphasizes the importance of antimicrobial stewardship during pandemics to ensure appropriate prescribing and prevent negative consequences on patient outcomes and antimicrobial resistance.

Antibiotic Use during the COVID-19 Pandemic in a Tertiary Hospital with an Ongoing Antibiotic Stewardship Program

Oryan Henig et al.

Summary: Targeted antibiotic stewardship programs have been shown to significantly reduce antibiotic consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in cases where clinical manifestations may be confused with bacterial infections. This highlights the effectiveness of such programs in managing antibiotic use in viral diseases like COVID-19.
