Article Synopsis
- A 2020 survey by Japanese health organizations examined doctors' prescribing habits for antimicrobials, focusing on changes after the National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (NAPAR) was implemented.
- Out of 3,000 clinics surveyed, 632 responses showed that greater familiarity with antimicrobial stewardship guidelines and awareness of NAPAR correlated with reduced antimicrobial prescriptions.
- The study suggests that while educational interventions may help lower prescriptions, additional targeted strategies are needed for high-prescription groups to effectively combat antimicrobial resistance.

Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed bacterial isolates from the pharynx and nasopharynx of 406 healthy children across three age groups: infants, toddlers, and school-aged children to improve understanding of normal flora.
- Predominant bacteria in the pharynx were mostly Gram-positive cocci, with notable differences in bacterial types and counts based on age; for instance, certain bacteria were significantly lower in infants compared to older children.
- The nasopharynx showed a predominance of gram-negative rods, and specific bacteria associated with respiratory infections were more prevalent in toddlers, highlighting variations in the respiratory tract flora by age and location.
