Global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019: a systematic analysis

Christopher J. L. Murray et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant threat to global human health, and this study provides the most comprehensive estimates of AMR burden to date. By estimating deaths and disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs) associated with bacterial AMR in 204 countries and territories in 2019, the study highlights the impact of resistance and the leading pathogen-drug combinations contributing to it.

Global, regional, and national sex differences in the global burden of tuberculosis by HIV status, 1990-2019: results from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019

Jorge R. Ledesma et al.

Summary: Assessing the burden of tuberculosis by sex is crucial. There are significant differences in mortality and incidence rates between males and females among HIV-negative individuals globally, with higher rates among males. Among HIV-positive individuals, females have a higher mortality and incidence rates. Controlling risk factors such as smoking, alcohol use, and diabetes is important in reducing tuberculosis mortality among males.

Community-based antibiotic access and use in six low-income and middle-income countries: a mixed-method approach

Nga T. T. Do et al.

Summary: The study compared antibiotic access and use practices in six LMICs, revealing significant differences between countries. Self-medication with antibiotics was found to be common in some countries due to its time and cost-saving benefits; factors influencing treatment-seeking included policies, trust in suppliers and drugs, disease severity, and whether antibiotics were intended for children.

Gram-negative neonatal sepsis in low- and lower-middle-income countries and WHO empirical antibiotic recommendations: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Sophie C. H. Wen et al.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis focused on neonatal sepsis in low- and lower-middle-income countries since 2010, revealing Gram-negative organisms as a major cause, with significant rates of antimicrobial resistance. Regional differences in bacterial prevalence and resistance highlight the need for region-specific empirical treatment recommendations.

Availability of essential diagnostics in ten low-income and middle-income countries: results from national health facility surveys

Harika Yadav et al.

Summary: Major gaps in diagnostic availability exist in many low-income and middle-income countries, particularly in primary care facilities. These results can serve as a benchmark to gauge progress towards implementing guidelines such as the WHO Essential Diagnostics List and Priority Medical Devices initiatives.

Surveillance strategies using routine microbiology for antimicrobial resistance in low- and middle-income countries

Cherry Lim et al.

Summary: This article reviews the strategies for AMR surveillance using routine microbiology results in LMICs, emphasizing the need for support in certain areas. Different surveillance strategies need to be thoroughly understood in terms of their limitations and potential biases to ensure maximum utilization and interpretation of local routine microbiology data.

Towards the sustainable discovery and development of new antibiotics

Marcus Miethke et al.

Summary: There is a growing demand for novel antimicrobials to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant bacterial pathogens, but there is currently a lack of investment in this field. New agents with innovative chemistry and modes of action are urgently needed to combat the public health threat posed by antimicrobial resistance. The consortium proposes short-term and long-term solutions to overcome urgent limitations in research and funding, aiming to bridge the gap between academic, industrial, and political stakeholders to improve the ability to discover and develop new antibiotics.
