Disparities in antimicrobial consumption and resistance within a country: the case of beta-lactams in Argentina

CONCLUSIONS: The case-study of Argentina shows that antimicrobial consumption and resistance of the most common pathogens differed among regions, reflecting different realities within the same country. Because this situation might also be occurring in other countries, this data should be taken into account to target local efforts towards better antimicrobial use, to improve antimicrobial stewardship programs and to propose more suitable sales strategies in order to prevent and control antimicrobial resistance.PMID:34322161 | PMC:PMC8312146 | DOI:10.26633/RPSP.2021.76
