Report highlights how COVID hindered the fight against antimicrobial resistance The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has highlighted how the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted U.S. efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR), resulting in a 15% rise in drug-resistant hospital-acquired infections and AMR-related deaths in its first year. The report emphasizes that preparedness for future public health emergencies must include robust AMR management strategies, timely access to diagnostics and data, and institutional support to sustain stewardship practices, as AMR rates remain elevated post-pandemic. Key lessons underscore the importance of investing in stewardship programs as a cornerstone of pandemic preparedness to mitigate similar challenges in the future. https://lnkd.in/dSzBsfVv Acurx Pharmaceuticals, Inc.
