Decline in Antimicrobial Consumption and Stagnation in Reducing Disease Burden due to Antimicrobial Resistance in Japan
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global health threat. While antimicrobial consumption (AMC) in Japan substantially decreased after implementation of the AMR National Action Plan, the disease burden due to AMR seems to be unchanged. The main objective of this study is to examine the relationship between AMC and the disease burden due to AMR in Japan.
Our results reveal that changes in AMC are not associated with DALYs caused by AMR-BSIs. AMR countermeasures besides efforts to reduce inappropriate AMC might be necessary to mitigate the disease burden due to AMR.
