Leveraging local public health to advance antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) implementation and mitigate antimicrobial resistance (AMR): a scoping review.
JAC Antimicrob Resist
December 2024
Communicable Disease Control, Public Health Ontario, Toronto, ON, Canada.
Objective: To explore the role of local public health organisations in antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance.
Methods: A scoping review was conducted. Peer-reviewed and grey literature from countries within the organisation for economic co-operation and development was searched between 1999 and 2023 using the concepts of local public health, AMR and AMS.
ENVIRONMENTAL MEDIATION OF COLISTIN RESISTANCE IN THE AFRICAN CONTEXT. A SYSTEMATIC SCOPING REVIEW.
J Glob Antimicrob Resist
December 2024
College of Life Sciences, Faculty of Health, Education and Life Sciences, Birmingham City University, Birmingham, United Kingdom; Department of Biomedical Science, School of Basic and Biomedical Science, University of Health and Allied Sciences, Ho, Ghana.
Introduction: The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) among Gram-negative bacteria is a major global health concern. Resistance to last-resort antibiotics like colistin is particularly alarming. This study reviews how environmental factors have contributed to colistin resistance in the African context, where reports of colistin-resistant Gram-negative organisms are emerging.

BMJ Open
December 2024
Centre for Health Services Studies, University of Kent, Canterbury, UK.
Introduction: In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), the persistent lack of access and high inappropriate use of antibiotics, which are fuelled by gender-related factors, continue to facilitate antimicrobial resistance. This in turn reduces the capacity to treat infectious diseases. However, there is a lack of clarity on the nature and extent of the available evidence on gender influence on access to antibiotics and antibiotic use behaviour.

Article Synopsis
- - One Health (OH) is a strategy aimed at improving the health of humans, animals, and ecosystems together, particularly to tackle issues like antimicrobial resistance (AMR) with a comprehensive approach.
- - A scoping review of literature on antibiotic-resistant Escherichia coli in Africa revealed that most research was concentrated in Eastern Africa, highlighting a significant gap in data for many countries and identifying the food chain as a key transmission route.
- - The review calls for increased focus on antimicrobial stewardship, hygiene, and biosecurity practices, alongside AMR surveillance and OH-driven research to promote the overall health of humans, animals, and the environment.
Antifungal stewardship in Australian hospitals: defining the scope and future targets.
Intern Med J
December 2024
National Centre for Infections in Cancer, Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Background: Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) guidelines now recommend antifungal stewardship (AFS) interventions to improve the management of invasive fungal diseases (IFDs). AFS programmes have not been reported in Australia.
Aims: To determine the monitoring of antifungal use, AFS strategies and targets, and barriers to AFS implementation in Australian hospitals.
