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.

Core Elements for Implementing Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs in Korean General Hospitals

Hae Suk Cheong et al.

Summary: Currently, antimicrobial resistance is a major threat to global public health. Antimicrobial stewardship program (ASP) has been proposed as a crucial approach to tackle this crisis. This study aimed to identify the core elements of ASP for domestic medical facilities through a Delphi survey. The identified core elements include leadership commitment, operating system, action, tracking, reporting, and education. It is necessary to ensure collaboration among departments, establish reimbursement system and workforce, provide financial support and incentives, and incorporate core elements into healthcare accreditation for the effective implementation of ASP.
