Background: Priority assessment of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens is essential for resource allocation and national risk management. This study aims to establish a priority list of antimicrobial-resistant pathogens to strengthen the national response to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the Republic of Korea (ROK). Methods: Antimicrobial-resistant pathogens were ranked throughout a multicriteria decision analysis using a preference-based survey based on PAPRIKA (Potentially All Pairwise Rankings of all possible Alternatives) method. This process involved identifying relevant criteria to evaluate pathogen priority and collecting data on disease burden for each antimicrobial-resistant pathogen. Findings: . Interpretation: This priority list represents the first comprehensive assessment of AMR pathogens of greatest concern to the Korean healthcare system. Our findings may inform country-specific policy decisions, particularly regarding infection prevention and control and AMR research and development. Funding: This work was supported by a fund (Grant No. 2024ER220500) provided by the Korea National Institute of Health.
