The purpose of the Global Research on AntiMicrobial resistance (GRAM) Project is to generate accurate and timely estimates of the magnitude and trends in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) burden across... the world, which can be used to inform treatment guidelines and agendas for decision-making and research, detect emerging problems and monitor trends to inform global strategies, as well as facilitate the assessment of interventions over time.

The OIE has been working on the AMR issue for a long
time. In undertaking its role as a standard- setting organisation*
for animal health, including zoonoses, the OIE has developed
a wide range of international standards on antimicrobial
agents,... in particular on responsible and prudent use.
These standards are regularly reviewed and updated
through the transparent and inclusive process of expert
advice and member consultation before presentation for
adoption to the World Assembly of Delegates from our
180 Member Countries each year. The OIE also works with
its Member countries in a comprehensive and continuous
capacity building process for their Veterinary Services.

La resistencia a los antimicrobianos es un problema complejo que requiere soluciones únicas adaptadas a cada país. Este conjunto de herramientas de adaptación de los programas de resistencia a los antim...icrobianos (TAP, por su sigla en inglés) los ayudará a iniciar y ejecutar proyectos para enfrentar la propagación de la resistencia a los antimicrobianos en sus territorios. Los ejercicios y recursos presentados corresponden a cada una de las etapas descritas en la Guía rápida: Manual práctico para la adaptación de intervenciones a medida contra la resistencia a los antimicrobianos, y deben ser utilizados por un grupo de trabajo de TAP.

March 2022. This report on good practices to combat AMR focuses on activities across human, animal, and environmental health in European countries. The report provides a description of practices, how they were implemented, achievements, and why the practice was unique.
Surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in Europe 2020 data: executive summary
This Tailoring Antimicrobial Resistance Programmes (TAP) process assists Member States in initiating and undertaking projects to address the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in t...heir countries. AMR is a complex problem requiring unique, context-specific solutions. This TAP Toolbox contains a series of exercises and is aligned with the stages outlined in the TAP Quick Guide. The Toolbox is designed to be used by a TAP working group as they work through the stages outlined in the TAP Quick Guide. The exercises and tools presented in this Toolbox have been abridged and adapted from the TAP Manual which will be available soon.

Responding to Outbreaks of Antimicrobial-resistant Pathogens in Health-care Facilities: Guidance for the Western Pacific Region is developed following requests from Member States in the Western Pacific Region for additional information and support i...n managing AMR outbreaks. It aims to provide: a step-by-step guide for health-care facilities to respond to AMR outbreaks; a practical resource for health-care workers to support AMR outbreak response in low- and middle-income countries; and practical guidance to implement effective AMR outbreak response policies and procedures in clinical settings.

The publication of the of the Antimicrobial Treatment Guidelines represents the
culmination of the efforts of the Antimicrobial Stewardship Program of ICMR to publish treatment guidelines for commo...n syndromes in India. These guidelines are targeted for the health care settings. It aims to rationalize the usage of antibiotics on our Essential Medicines Formulary (EMF) and to establish consistency in the treatment of various infectious conditions.

La RAM se produce cuando los microorganismos (bacterias, hongos, virus y parásitos) sufren cambios al verse expuestos a los antimicrobianos (antibióticos, antifúngicos, antivíricos, antipalúdicos o antihelmínticos, por ejemplo). Los microorgan...ismos resistentes a la mayoría de los antimicrobianos se conocen como ultrarresistentes.
Como resultado, los medicamentos se vuelven ineficaces y las infecciones persisten en el organismo, lo que incrementa el riesgo de propagación a otras personas.

These guidelines present evidence-based recommendations and best practice statements on use of medically important antimicrobials in food-producing animals, based on the WHO list of critically important an...timicrobials for human medicine (WHO CIA List). These guidelines aim primarily to help preserve the effectiveness of medically important antimicrobials, particularly those antimicrobials judged to be critically important to human medicine and also help preserve the effectiveness of antimicrobials for veterinary medicine, in direct support of the WHO global action plan on antimicrobial resistance

In case of resistance to rifampicin, fluoroquinolones become the preferred category of second-line drugs. Unfortunately, quinolone-resistant strains of Mycobacterium leprae have also been reported in several countries, probably due to the extensive use of quinolones for treating several types of inf...ections. Clofazimine resistance is still rare but this antimicrobial cannot be given alone
