Journal ArticleDOI

Discovery, research, and development of new antibiotics: the WHO priority list of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and tuberculosis.

Evelina Tacconelli, +81 more
TL;DR: Future development strategies should focus on antibiotics that are active against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and Gram-negative bacteria, and include antibiotic-resistant bacteria responsible for community-acquired infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global antibiotic consumption 2000 to 2010: an analysis of national pharmaceutical sales data

TL;DR: To prevent a striking rise in resistance in low-income and middle-income countries with large populations and to preserve antibiotic efficacy worldwide, programmes that promote rational use through coordinated efforts by the international community should be a priority.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global increase and geographic convergence in antibiotic consumption between 2000 and 2015.

TL;DR: It is found that the antibiotic consumption rate in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs) has been converging to (and in some countries surpassing) levels typically observed in high-income countries, and projected total global antibiotic consumption through 2030 was up to 200% higher than the 42 billion DDDs estimated in 2015.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anthropological and socioeconomic factors contributing to global antimicrobial resistance: a univariate and multivariable analysis.

TL;DR: Improving sanitation, increasing access to clean water, and ensuring good governance, as well as increasing public health-care expenditure and better regulating the private health sector are all necessary to reduce global antimicrobial resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Potential burden of antibiotic resistance on surgery and cancer chemotherapy antibiotic prophylaxis in the USA: a literature review and modelling study.

TL;DR: Increasing antibiotic resistance potentially threatens the safety and efficacy of surgical procedures and immunosuppressing chemotherapy and more data is needed to establish how antibiotic prophylaxis recommendations should be modified in the context of increasing rates of resistance.
