Bacteria slightly more often resistant to last resort antibiotics

Antimicrobial resistance is a global problem. In the Netherlands, some bacteria that can cause infections in people are more frequently resistant to antibiotics used as a last resort. This means that - if these developments continue - treatment options will eventually become increasingly limited. The use of antibiotics in health care is also increasing gradually. These are the findings of the NethMap/MARAN annual report.
