World AMR Congress Op-Ed Advertorial : AMR is the Problem. ASP is the Solution.
SUMMARY
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is among the leading global public health challenges of our time and has most recently been exacerbated by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Implementation of rapid and innovative diagnostic tests for identification and characterization of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, and distinguishing between viral or bacterial infections, is essential to reducing unnecessary use of antibiotics, a major cause of AMR. Antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASP) are the best mitigation strategy healthcare systems can implement to address the detriment of AMR while optimizing patient care.
