Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) causes high levels of global mortality. There is a global need to develop new antimicrobials to replace those whose efficacy is being eroded, but limited incentive for companies to engage in R&D, and a limited pipeline
Knowing the optimal duration of antibiotic therapy for pneumonia is crucial for effective antimicrobial stewardship. This is especially important as concerns mount over rising antibiotic resistance in respiratory bacterial pathogens, which increases the risk of treatment failure. Numerous studies have focused...
antimicrobial resistance has been associated with nearly 5 million deaths.1It is postulated that AMR may overtake cancer as a leading cause of mortality by 20502. It is obvious that antimicrobial stewardship is critical and yet health care clinicians in high income countries are faced with a persi...
Professor Dame Sally Davies, the UK Chief Medical Officer, has compared the threat posed by resistance to that from global terrorism. Antimicrobial use is a key driver of antimicrobial resistance, so reducing unnecessary prescriptions is a high priority. NICE has developed guidance aimed at ...

The primary aim of antibiotic stewardship programs is to supervise the three most influential factors contributing to the development and transmission of MDROs, namely: (1) appropriate antibiotic prescribing; (2) early detection and prevention of cross-colonization of MDROs; and (3) elimination of ...
EPR is closely related to the concept of “product stewardship,” whereby producers take action to minimize the health, safety, environmental, and social impacts of a product throughout its life cycle stages. Producers’ being required to take back and recycle electronic equipment through the EU’...
