Prioritising intervention areas for antimicrobial resistance in Nigeria’s human and animal health sectors using a mixed-methods approach
The study identifies Salmonella spp. and Escherichia coli as the top priority pathogens for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Nigeria’s human and animal health sectors. Priority AMS challenges include ease of access to over-the-counter antimicrobials, lack of awareness of AMR/AMS, and lack of infection prevention and control. The highest-ranked AMR driver is the lack of infection prevention and control. Medical doctors rank access to veterinary expertise higher than veterinarians, while medical doctors rank lack of IPC and environmental degradation higher. The findings highlight the need for a One Health approach to improve AMS and curb AMR.
