The Mission Continues: What Are You Doing to Improve Antibiotic and Antifungal Use? |
---|
Thank you for supporting U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week (USAAW). Even though USAAW just ended, our work to improve antibiotic and antifungal prescribing and use doesn’t stop here. We need your help to keep the momentum going! Why it matters. CDC recently published a paper showing clinician antibiotic prescribing behavior varies by patient’s race and ethnicity, sex, age, socioeconomic factors, geography, clinician’s age and specialty, and healthcare setting. CDC is prioritizing reducing health inequities. Health inequities resulting from less-than-optimal antibiotic or antifungal prescribing practices may impact health outcomes. More research is needed to fully understand potential disparities related to antimicrobial resistance (AR), so we can take further action to reduce the impact AR has on our health. | Antimicrobial-resistant infections are one of the biggest public health challenges of our time. Each year in the United States, at least 2.8 million people get an antimicrobial-resistant infection, and more than 35,000 people die. Any time antibiotic and antifungal drugs are used to treat an infection, they can cause side effects and contribute to the development of AR. Antimicrobial resistance has been identified in all regions of the world and can rapidly spread. Factors such as access to clean water and adequate sanitation, vaccination coverage, and access to quality health care can impact the spread of antimicrobial resistance and the number of infections worldwide. |
