Steering Against Superbugs: The Global Governance of Antimicrobial Resistance (EPUB)

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has severe societal consequences, including declining health outcomes, prolonged hospital stays, decreased protection for medical procedure patients, increased healthcare expenditure, increased mortality, and declining global food security due to damaged farm animal health and crop yields. However, despite the transboundary nature of AMR, few effective global initiatives combat it. Steering Against Superbugs sheds light on ways to reduce barriers and create opportunities for coordination. The contributors provide specific and original insights about effective governance in a global AMR crisis, stressing the importance of pursuing local-level implementation of policies, recognizing solutions across multiple sectors within countries, and globally. Given the COVID-19 pandemic, AMR poses a long-term threat to human, animal, and environmental health. Steering Against Superbugs contributes original research to ongoing and future debates on global health threats.
