Description
Valerie Leung and a large team review how local public health groups can help fight antimicrobial resistance, in this 2024 scoping review. Resistance grows when microbes stop responding to drugs, and stewardship programs aim to use those drugs wisely. The team searched peer-reviewed and grey literature from developed countries spanning more than two decades.
They found sixty-three sources describing over one hundred twenty examples of local public health involvement. Common stewardship work included training health workers, checking antimicrobial use, and teaching patients. Surveillance work mostly tracked communicable diseases and resistant organisms. The authors urge better use of local strengths in knowledge sharing, surveillance and partnerships, and call for study of funding barriers.
