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.

High global consumption of potentially inappropriate fixed dose combination antibiotics: Analysis of data from 75 countries

Barbara Bortone et al.

Summary: Antibiotic fixed dose combinations (FDCs) can offer clinical benefits, but there is high consumption globally, particularly in middle-income countries. The majority of FDC antibiotics are not approved by either the US FDA or WHO EML, indicating a need for international initiatives to regulate their manufacturing and sales.

Association of Empiric Antibiotic Regimen Discordance With 30-Day Mortality in Neonatal and Pediatric Bloodstream Infection-A Global Retrospective Cohort Study

Aislinn Cook et al.

Summary: This study found that in children with bacterial bloodstream infections, discordant early empiric antibiotic treatment is associated with a higher 30-day mortality rate, nearly tripling the risk compared to patients receiving concordant treatment. The impact of improved concordance of early empiric treatment on mortality, especially in critically ill patients, needs further investigation.

Postmortem investigations and identification of multiple causes of child deaths: An analysis of findings from the Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) network

Robert F. Breiman et al.

Summary: The study found that most child deaths have multiple causes, rather than a single underlying condition. Considering all conditions, rather than just the underlying condition, can better guide research priorities and strategies for preventing mortality.

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.

Personalised randomised controlled trial designs-a new paradigm to define optimal treatments for carbapenem-resistant infections

A. Sarah Walker et al.

Summary: The article proposes the design principles of a Personalised RAndomised Controlled Trial (PRACTical) to address treatment obstacles for carbapenem-resistant infections, comparing multiple treatments in an evidence synthesis to identify the best treatment at an individual level. This approach aims to maximize the relevance of findings to each patient and enable identification of top-ranked regimens in terms of efficacy and safety.

Characterization of antimicrobial-resistant Gram-negative bacteria that cause neonatal sepsis in seven low- and middle-income countries

Kirsty Sands et al.

Summary: The BARNARDS study analyzed bacterial isolates from neonates with sepsis in LMICs, showing antimicrobial-resistant Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, and Enterobacter as main species. Antimicrobial resistance is rising in neonatal sepsis, with poorly understood mechanisms that limit treatment options in LMICs.

Effect of Delays in Concordant Antibiotic Treatment on Mortality in Patients With Hospital-Acquired Acinetobacter Species Bacteremia: Emulating a Target Randomized Trial With a 13-Year Retrospective Cohort

Cherry Lim et al.

Summary: This study found that delays in appropriate antibiotic treatment for patients with Acinetobacter species hospital-acquired bacteremia were associated with an absolute increase in expected 30-day mortality, highlighting the importance of timely treatment in improving patient outcomes.
