📚Today’s #MondayRead is an ICARS-supported scoping review that maps the current evidence on interventions to reduce antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) in Latin America and the Caribbean. 🔬Using articles from PubMed, Web of Science, LILACS, and grey literature, the authors focused on reports on the implementation of AMR programmes, interventions, or policies aimed at tackling AMR that were published between January 2018 and December 2024. 🌍The findings demonstrate that most interventions are concentrated in the human health sector, with a major gap in #OneHealth research integrating animal, environmental, and human health. Beside the need of more rigorous evaluations that inform decision making and the need of a One Health network within the LAC region. 📋The results from this review will be used by the ICARS-supported project team to draft a priority list of future intervention and implementation areas to be prioritised in the region. 🔗 Read more: icars-global.org/knowledge/a…

🌍 Today is #WorldOneHealthDay! 👐 Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a One Health challenge that connects the health of people, animals, plants, and the environment. Addressing it requires stewardship across the entire antimicrobial lifecycle, from innovation and production to prudent use and disposal. 🎯 Today's #MondayRead is a new Perspective paper proposing a comprehensive One Health stewardship framework to embed these principles at every level — global, national, and institutional. By doing so, we can preserve antimicrobial efficacy, safeguard food security, and protect ecosystems for generations to come. 👏 On this #OneHealthDay, we’re reminded that collaboration across all sectors is key to addressing AMR and achieving sustainable impact. 🔗 Read the full paper ➡️ bit.ly/3LcFLQ6 #AMR #OneHealth #Stewardship #GlobalHealth

📚Today’s #MondayRead explores antimicrobial stewardship (#AMS) in the Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR), where conflict, instability, and resource limitations make addressing antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) especially challenging. 💡The researchers identified barriers and opportunities for implementing Antimicrobial Stewardship Programmes in low- and lower-middle-income EMR countries. The seven key themes include: ▪️AMS capacity varies – approaches must be tailored to local contexts. ▪️There’s an urgent need to build knowledge and capacity through training. ▪️Centres of excellence and peer learning can drive sustainable progress. ▪️Existing tools should be enhanced and locally adapted. ▪️A regional networking platform is needed to connect and collaborate. ▪️National mandates and accreditation for hospital AMS can support scale-up. ▪️ Local research is essential to inform evidence-based action. 🌍The findings underscore the need for context-specific, collaborative, and capacity-building approaches to advance AMS in the EMR. With targeted support from local, regional, and global partners, key components of effective AMS can be achieved using existing resources. 🔗 Read more: bit.ly/4oGYh1j #AntimicrobialStewardship #GlobalHealth #OneHealth #EasternMediterranean #HealthSystems #CapacityBuilding #SustainableDevelopment #InfectiousDiseases

Today's #MondayRead is the new @WHO GLASS report, a crucial contribution to understanding and addressing the global threat of antimicrobial resistance (#AMR). The report offers a stark warning: ⚠️ One in six bacterial infections worldwide in 2023 were resistant to antibiotic treatments. 📈 Between 2018 and 2023, resistance rose in over 40% of pathogen-antibiotic combinations monitored, with an average annual increase of 5–15%. 🌍 Resistance is highest where health systems have limited diagnostic and treatment capacity. 💬 Commenting on the report, ICARS’ Executive Director, Dr Sujith J Chandy said: “ICARS expresses its appreciation to the WHO for its continued leadership in advancing global AMR surveillance and welcomes the increasing participation of countries in the GLASS initiative. The findings highlight the urgent need for tailored and sustainable solutions to address the growing burden of AMR. ICARS reaffirms its commitment to supporting national efforts through the development and implementation of cost-effective, context-specific, and scalable interventions to mitigate the impact of AMR worldwide.” 🔗 Read more: bit.ly/4qhPJiT #GlobalHealth #Surveillance #OneHealth #AntimicrobialResistance #GLASS2025

📕 Today’s #MondayRead reviews the use of antibiotic growth promoters (AGPs) in South Africa’s poultry industry, examining their role in driving antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) and the challenges of moving towards AGP-free production. 💡The review highlights how AGPs, while long used to support bird health, growth, and profitability, contribute to AMR and unsafe antibiotic residues. Despite global restrictions, reliance on AGPs persists in South Africa due to high disease burdens, limited alternatives, lower biosecurity, as well as inadequate regulatory and monitoring frameworks. 📌 The article outlines strategies that could “push and pull” stakeholders towards AGP-free systems, from gradual bans and stronger biosecurity standards to incentives, subsidies, and research investment, underscoring that carefully crafted regulations and sustained efforts are key to creating an enabling environment for AGP-free poultry production. 🔗Full article: bit.ly/3KXb8O8 @UniMpumalanga @unisa @UCT_news #AntimicrobialResistance #AnimalHealth #OneHealth #GlobalHealth #Biosecurity #FoodSafety #SustainableAgriculture

📚Today’s #MondayRead is a recent article published in BMC Veterinary Research, ‘Understanding how veterinarians’ knowledge, attitudes, and practices influence antibiotic prescription: a systematic review of survey studies’. 📈Drawing on 59 studies published between 2004–2023, the review examined the non-clinical factors that influence veterinarians’ antibiotic prescription practices. The researchers found that vets’ decisions are influenced by a mix of intrinsic (self-confidence, fear, client expectations, knowledge gaps) and extrinsic factors (client pressure, poor farm biosecurity, high lab costs, weak guidelines, and animal specific challenges). 🌍The findings show that many of these factors can be addressed, offering opportunities within a #OneHealth approach to design interventions using improved policies, farmer education, and stronger support for veterinarians to promote appropriate antibiotic use in animals. Thank you to the researchers for recognising the work of ICARS in implementing AMR solutions across the One Health spectrum in LMICs, and for highlighting the importance of targeted, context-specific interventions to promote antimicrobial stewardship in these regions. 🔗Full article: bit.ly/46Dk6re #AntimicrobialResistance #AnimalHealth #GlobalHealth #AntimicrobialUse #Biosecurity #AMR #AntibioticStewardship #Antibiotics

📚Today’s #MondayRead is the first evaluation of the ESCMID Antimicrobial Stewardship (#AMS) Certificate programme, demonstrating its impact on advancing AMS expertise and practice worldwide. Launched in June 2022, the 2-year programme engaged 40 participants from 22 countries, combining structured training with the design and implementation of local AMS projects. Using Kirkpatrick’s four levels of learning (reaction, learning, behaviour, results), the study assessed participants’ progress across knowledge, skills, and measurable outcomes. 📌 The ESCMID AMS Certificate equips healthcare professionals with stewardship knowledge and skills, to improve antimicrobial use across diverse healthcare settings, and strengthen antimicrobial stewardship capacity. 🔗Full article: bit.ly/4mw4Gee #ESCMID #AntimicrobialStewardship #AMR #InfectiousDiseases #GlobalHealth #AntimicrobialResistance @ESCMID @amsterdamumc @radboudumc

📕Today’s #MondayRead is a recent scoping review on how gender dynamics shape vulnerability and antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) outcomes, providing evidence to inform gender-responsive AMR policies, programmes, and interventions. 💡Drawing on 141 records from 2000-2025, the study applied a Gender and AMR Matrix to analyse how harmful gender norms influence vulnerability, exposure, and outcomes. The findings suggest that inequities in labour roles, access to resources, healthcare, and decision-making power increase the risk of infection and limit access to treatment and diagnosis. 🌍The findings underscore the need for gender-responsive and people-centred AMR policies that address systemic barriers and promote equitable access to prevention, diagnosis and treatment of drug-resistant infections. 🔗Full article: bit.ly/46E1nwI #AntimicrobialResistance #GlobalHealth #PublicHealth #GenderAndHealth #HealthPolicy #GenderEquality #HealthEquity #GenderAndAMR @gstrategylab @WHO @JohnsHopkins @UCT_news @WorldBank
