The World Health Organization‘s global research agenda on antimicrobial resistance in human health has just been published in the ‘Publications’ section of their website. It has been developed to promote the generation of evidence with the greatest potential to mitigate AMR in the human health sector by 2030.
The agenda outlines 33 research priorities addressing bacterial and fungal infections and seven priorities specifically addressing multidrug-resistant tuberculosis, identified through a rigorous prioritization exercise based on a literature review and expert opinion.
Designed to guide policymakers, researchers, funders and other stakeholders, the agenda aims to catalyse research and investment aligned with the identified priorities. It emphasizes the need to translate research priorities into actionable, implementable studies to ultimately inform AMR policies and interventions—especially in resource-limited settings.
