Hardly any National Action Plans to address antimicrobial resistance include reducing antibiotic use as an explicit goal 🤯
Report shows only 3 countries had a significant reduction in sales after implementing their NAPs: Jordan, Sth Africa & Indonesia 👏👏

Should we still be thinking of classifying UTIs using a dichotomous definition - complicated vs uncomplicated?
