Antimicrobial Effectiveness

894
The effectiveness of antimicrobial agents depends on various factors influencing their ability to eliminate microbial populations. Larger microbial populations require more time for complete eradication, emphasizing the importance of population size analysis when evaluating antimicrobial efficacy.Microbial resistance to antimicrobial agents varies significantly. Highly resilient microorganisms include endospores, gram-negative bacteria, and non-enveloped viruses, while prions are exceptionally...

Development of Antibiotic Resistance

1.2K
Antibiotic resistance is a major public health concern that arises when bacteria evolve mechanisms to withstand the effects of antibiotic treatments. This resistance can be intrinsic, acquired through genetic mutations, or transferred between bacteria via horizontal gene transfer. The development of antibiotic resistance poses significant challenges in treating bacterial infections and necessitates ongoing research to develop new therapeutic strategies.Intrinsic resistance occurs when bacterial...

Summary

Gender is largely missing from antimicrobial resistance (AMR) National Action Plans (NAPs), despite women facing higher risks. Policy development needs to integrate gender and intersectional approaches for effective AMR strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Global Health Security
  • Gender Studies

Background:

  • Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global health threat, necessitating comprehensive National Action Plans (NAPs).
  • Existing AMR policies often overlook gender considerations, despite evidence of women's disproportionate susceptibility to infections and higher antibiotic prescription rates.
  • This gap highlights a critical need to integrate gender perspectives into global AMR strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the extent to which gender is incorporated into National Action Plans (NAPs) for antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
  • To examine the relationship between gender-related keyword inclusion, geographical region, income level, and the gender composition of NAP curators.
  • To identify gaps and provide recommendations for enhancing gender sensitivity in AMR policy development.

Main Methods:

  • A mixed-methods approach was employed, analyzing 132 NAPs published before December 2023.
  • Quantitative analysis involved keyword frequency counts for gender-related terms.
  • Qualitative thematic analysis was conducted on high-scoring NAPs, alongside an assessment of curator gender composition and its correlation with keyword inclusion.

Main Results:

  • Only 11% of NAPs explicitly mentioned "gender," with "urinary tract infection" being the most frequent gender-related term (33%).
  • NAPs with higher gender-related term scores were more common in low-income countries, particularly in Africa.
  • Women were underrepresented among NAP curators, and no significant correlation was found between female participation and the inclusion of gender-related keywords.

Conclusions:

  • Gender remains inadequately integrated into AMR National Action Plans globally.
  • There is a clear need for enhanced gender awareness in policy development for AMR.
  • Adopting an intersectional framework is crucial to address the complex social determinants influencing AMR vulnerability and response.
