Most AMR deaths are caused by lower respiratory infections, such as pneumonia, and bloodstream infections leading to sepsis. MRSA was particularly deadly, it found, while E.coli was also linked to high levels of drug resistance. Young children are at most risk, with about one in five deaths linked to AMR among the under-fives.
This goes far beyond difficult-to-treat hospital infections. The problem is that the sheer volume of antimicrobials being used in humans, animals and in other situations is leading to big increases in the rate of development of resistance. “We know what will work to slow or stop antibiotic resistance. We will use less antibiotics in all sectors if we prevent infection with hygiene, sanitation and vaccination. We will use less antibiotics if we get better at diagnosis of infections that antibiotics don’t work for. When we need antibiotics, we can use them better.”
Dr Ramanan Laxminarayan from the Centre for Disease Dynamics, Economics and Policy in Washington DC has called for key data gaps to be filled and for global spending on AMR to match levels seen for other diseases.
