Antimicrobial Resistance and its Containment in Developing Countries

  • Chapter
Antibiotic Policies

Conclusions

The problem of AR in DCs is mainly due to poverty and the factors related to it. The problem of resistance is not quite appreciated by most stakeholders as there are more priorities to address such as provision of basic healthcare or sanitation. These overshadow the problems of AR. Containment of AR in DCs therefore will heavily rely on formation of global partnership with developed countries and organisations to formulate and implement integrated mechanisms to sensitise service providers, the policy-makers, and the users to understand the problem and the consequences of lack of control. Prevention and control will require prudent use of existing agents, discovery of new antimicrobial agents, new vaccines and enhanced public health efforts to reduce transmission. AIDS is a very important player in the development and spread of AR. Without making significant headway with AIDS prevention and mitigation and eradication of poverty, the control of AR will remain a secondary issue in DCs.
