Highlights
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing problem worldwide, leading to increased morbidity, mortality and costs[1,2,3,4,5,6], with the overall costs of AMR typically exceeding the costs of the different antibiotics prescribed and dispensed[7]
AMR is important in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs) as these countries have the highest burden of infectious diseases with growing rates of resistant organisms[8,9,10,11,12]
The Global Antibiotic Resistance Partnership (GARP)-Bangladesh national working group report, published in 2018, identified a number of activities that should be undertaken in Bangladesh to address concerns with inappropriate utilization of antimicrobials resulting in high resistance rates to commonly prescribed antibiotics and organisms including amoxycillin, cloxacillin, carbapenem, ceftriaxone, and metronidazole as well as S. pneumoniae[8,19]
