Syndemic approach to address the burden of antimicrobial resistance in Southeast Asia
Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is increasingly recognised as an ongoing pandemic, which occurs at the intersection of biology, inequity, health education, cultural norms, and the social practice of antimicrobial use. Recently published WHO Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Report 2025 based on the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) offers a comprehensive picture of the AMR burden, reporting evidence of over 23 million bacteriologically confirmed infections from 104 countries.
