Antimicrobials stop acting on people

World Health Organization опубликовала first data on antimicrobial resistance, which indicate a high level of antibiotic resistance to a number of serious bacterial infections in countries with both high and low incomes.

According to the WHO Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (GLASS), WHO around 500 000 people with suspected bacterial infection in 22 countries faced antibiotic resistance.

Among patients with suspected bloodstream infection, resistance to at least one of the most widely used antibiotics in different countries ranges widely from zero to 82%. Penicillin resistance, a drug that has been used worldwide for the treatment of pneumonia for decades, varies from zero to 51% among the countries included in the report. The prevalence of resistance to ciprofloxacin (an antibiotic commonly used to treat these types of diseases) in the treatment of infections of the urinary system caused by E. coli ranges from 8% to 65%.

“The report confirms that the situation with antibiotic resistance in the world is difficult,” says Dr. Mark Sprenger, director of the WHO antimicrobial resistance department.

“Some of the most common and most potentially dangerous infections in the world do not respond to medical treatment,” Sprenger added. “And the most worrying thing is that pathogens do not recognize state borders. Therefore, WHO calls on all countries to establish effective surveillance systems to detect drug resistance and share the data with the global system. ”

Currently, the WHO Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System involves 52 countries (25 high-income countries, 20 middle-income countries and 7 low-income countries).

However, WHO is taking steps to ensure that more and more countries form their own national antimicrobial resistance surveillance systems in order to obtain reliable and useful data. GLASS helps to standardize the approach to data collection by countries and provides a more complete picture of the structure and trends of antibiotic resistance.

Reliable antimicrobial resistance surveillance programs for tuberculosis, HIV and malaria have been around for many years and help assess the burden of disease, plan diagnostic and treatment services, track the effectiveness of vector control activities and develop effective treatment strategies to overcome and prevent future antimicrobial resistance. It is expected that GLASS will perform similar functions in relation to common pathogens.

WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Gebreyesus stressed that he intends to make the issue of antimicrobial resistance one of the highest priorities for WHO, bringing together experts working on its solution in the framework of the newly created cluster of strategic initiatives.
