Preventing the Emergence of Antimicrobial Resistance: A Call for Action by Clinicians, Public Health Officials, and Patients
Abstract
The emerging global problem of antimicrobial resistance has multiple aspects and involves multiple pathogens. One common theme is that antimicrobial drug use exerts selective pressure favoring the emergence of resistance. Strategies to prevent the development and spread of antimicrobial resistance depend on the pathogens. For bacterial respiratory tract pathogens (eg,Streptococcus pneumoniae), controlling outpatient antimicrobial use is crucial1-3; for some enteric pathogens (eg,Salmonella), limiting antimicrobial use in animals is important4,5; and, for pathogens that cause nosocomial infections, improving inpatient antimicrobial use and infection control practices is necessary.6Addressing antimicrobial use and resistance is one of the most urgent priorities in confronting emerging infectious disease threats.7,8 See also p 901. Respiratory infections account for more than three quarters of the antimicrobial drug prescriptions written annually in physicians' offices.9In this issue ofJAMA, Gonzales et al10identify antibiotic prescribing for adults with colds, nonspecific

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
