Antimicrobial Resistance in Selected Bacteria from Food Animals in New Zealand 2018-2022.

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) presents a significant threat to human health worldwide. One important source of antimicrobial-resistant infections in humans is exposure to animals or animal products. In a phased survey, we investigated AMR in 300 Escherichia coli isolates and 300 enterococci (Enterococcus faecalis and E.

Point-prevalence surveys of antimicrobial consumption and resistance at a paediatric and an adult tertiary referral hospital in Yangon, Myanmar.

Background: Antimicrobial resistance is increasingly prevalent worldwide. The inappropriate use of antimicrobials, including in the hospital setting, is considered a major driver of antimicrobial resistance.

Aim: To inform improvements in antimicrobial stewardship, we undertook point prevalence surveys of antimicrobial prescribing at Yangon Children's Hospital and Yangon General Hospital in Yangon, Myanmar.

A Systematic Review on Antimicrobial Resistance among Typhi Worldwide.

Understanding patterns and trends of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Typhi can guide empiric treatment recommendations and contribute to country decisions about typhoid conjugate vaccine (TCV) introduction. We systematically reviewed PubMed and Web of Science for articles reporting the proportion of Typhi isolates resistant to individual antimicrobials worldwide from any time period. Isolates resistant to chloramphenicol, ampicillin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole were classified as multidrug resistant (MDR), and isolates that were MDR plus resistant to a fluoroquinolone and a third-generation cephalosporin were extensively drug resistant (XDR).
