Overview

Analysis highlights the diagnostic gap in low- and middle-income nations and suggests improvements in antibiotic therapy and stewardship.

Key Points

  • The diagnostic gap in antimicrobial resistance has contributed to a significant increase in resistance-related deaths.
  • In 2021, about 4.71 million deaths were linked to drug-resistant infections, with 1.14 million directly due to AMR.
  • Implementing rapid antibiotic susceptibility testing can provide same-day MIC values, allowing for more effective treatment decisions.
  • Inclusion of pathologists in antimicrobial stewardship committees is essential to leverage laboratory diagnostics in clinical settings.
