Antimicrobial Management of Skin and Soft Tissue Infections among Surgical Wards in South Africa: Findings and Implications

Atlanta B. Makwela et al.

Summary: Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are common infectious diseases that often require antibiotics. However, the overprescribing of antibiotics for SSTIs can lead to antibiotic resistance. Monitoring the alignment of prescribing practices with treatment guidelines is important for improving future care.

Antimicrobial stewardship implementation before and during the COVID-19 pandemic in the acute care settings: a systematic review

Rasha Abdelsalam Elshenawy et al.

Summary: This systematic literature review investigates the AMS interventions and measures before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The proper selection of AMS strategies and measures appeared to be effective in maintaining the appropriate use of antibiotics and decreasing the threat of AMR. Further studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of these strategies and measures before and during the pandemic.

Current Antibiotic Use Among Hospitals in the sub-Saharan Africa Region; Findings and Implications

Linda Siachalinga et al.

Summary: This article provides a narrative review of antibiotic utilization patterns, challenges, indicators, and antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs) in sub-Saharan Africa. The results show a high prevalence of antibiotic use in hospitals, particularly empirical use of broad-spectrum antibiotics. The lack of guidelines and low adherence to guidelines is a concern. ASPs have been effective in improving antibiotic use and reducing antimicrobial resistance (AMR).

Antibiotic Use Among Hospitalized Patients in Africa: A Systematic Review of Point Prevalence Studies

Usman Abubakar et al.

Summary: This systematic review evaluated antibiotics usage in hospitals across Africa. The study found that the prevalence of antibiotic use among hospitalized patients is relatively high and varied between regions in Africa. The ICU and pediatric medical ward had the highest prevalence of antibiotic use. Antibiotics were most commonly prescribed for community-acquired infections and surgical antibiotic prophylaxis, with ceftriaxone, metronidazole, and gentamicin being the most common antibiotics prescribed.

Summary: South Africa has faced several major health issues over the past 30 years, including HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis, chronic illnesses, and injuries. Using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuries and Risk Factors Study 2019, the study assessed the country's health trends and progress towards sustainable development goals. The findings suggest that while there have been improvements in HIV/AIDS-related conditions, many provinces still lag behind in key areas.

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.

Summary: Data on antimicrobial consumption among paediatric population in public hospitals in South Africa is limited. This study aimed to quantify antimicrobial usage, identify and classify which antimicrobials are used based on the WHO AWaRe list. The study found that antimicrobial prescribing is common among paediatric patients in South Africa and interventions should be targeted to improve prescribing practices and encourage greater use of oral antibiotics.

Summary: This study provides COVID-19 outbreak trends in South Africa during the Omicron, Delta, and Beta variants outbreak periods. The study found that during the Omicron outbreak period, the growth in cases was 18.6% higher than during the Delta outbreak period. Despite this, the growth in death trends during the Omicron period was found to be low, possibly due to the lower mortality rate and case fatality proportion.

Ongoing Efforts to Improve Antimicrobial Utilization in Hospitals among African Countries and Implications for the Future

Zikria Saleem et al.

Summary: There are increasing concerns with rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR) globally, and Africa has the highest rates of AMR. National action plans (NAPs) and initiatives, such as point prevalence surveys (PPS) and antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs), have been implemented across Africa to reduce AMR. The results show a high utilization of antimicrobials in hospitals, with penicillins, ceftriaxone, and metronidazole being the most prescribed antibiotics. ASPs have been initiated to improve future prescribing, and various suggested activities have been presented to stakeholders to reduce AMR in Africa.

Antimicrobial Stewardship in Public-Sector Hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

Sarentha Chetty et al.

Summary: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a significant global public health threat. Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) is recognized as an important tool to promote rational antibiotic use within healthcare facilities. A survey conducted in public-sector hospitals in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN), South Africa, found various challenges in implementing antimicrobial stewardship activities, including lack of support from hospital leadership, limited financial resources, and shortage of healthcare professionals and time.

Summary: Despite the need for effective AMS, there is limited information on AMS in South Africa. Most assistance is required in rural areas and smaller hospitals with low numbers of staff and greater numbers of transient rotating junior staff. Information management support, multidisciplinary teamwork and clinical governance are required to enable regular and ongoing AMS in facilities. Rural and smaller facilities require greater support to establish effectively functioning AMS committees.
