However, in contrast to high-income countries (HICs), many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) lack appropriate and effective antibiotics. This is a paradox, and an inequitable scenario, as LMICs can have significantly higher burdens of infectious diseases than HICs and especially require appropriate antibiotics. Inequitable access to appropriate antibiotics results in patients being treated with substandard antibiotics, treatment failure, the emergence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and, inevitably, morbidity and mortality. Factors that hinder access to appropriate antibiotics in LMICs include: poor political will, weak health systems, complex bureaucratic protocols, poor implementation of National Action Plans on AMR, inadequate expertise in regulatory science, unfavourable macroeconomic policies and a poor investment climate. Clearly, multisectoral, collaborative approaches are required to effectively mitigate inequitable access to appropriate antibiotics in LMICs. Also, efforts (such as the African Medicines Regulatory Harmonization Initiative and the African Medicines Agency) to streamline bureaucratic processes and improve the registration and entry of appropriate antibiotics into LMICs are required. This review discusses factors responsible for inequitable access to appropriate antibiotics in LMICs, and makes recommendations to mitigate the problem. With rising rates of AMR, a dwindling antibiotic pipeline, and the dangers of a post-antibiotic era, it is clear that the time to act is now, as inequitable access to appropriate antibiotics in LMICs reduces the quality of healthcare, and threatens the achievement of Universal Health Coverage and, ultimately, the Sustainable Development Goals.</p>","PeriodicalId":14594,"journal":{"name":"JAC-Antimicrobial Resistance","volume":"7 2","pages":"dlaf061"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12019631/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144020602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Whereas cystic fibrosis (CF) <i>P. aeruginosa</i> strains have been well studied, non-CF bronchiectasis isolates have received less scientific attention.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>We determined the antibiotic susceptibility profiles of a collection of 100 <i>P. aeruginosa</i> isolates recovered from a total of 100 non-CF bronchiectasis patients attending a Catalonian hospital. All carbapenemase-producing isolates were characterized by WGS.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Twelve isolates were classified as MDR (12%) and six were found to be carbapenemase (VIM-2) producers (6%). Of note, two of the VIM-2-producing isolates were carbapenem susceptible due to the presence of inactivating mutations in MexAB-OprM efflux pump components. These isolates exhibited properties of chronic <i>P. aeruginosa</i> isolates, such as mutator or mucoid phenotypes that are associated with persistent infections despite intensive antibiotic therapies. The phylogenetic analysis evidenced that all VIM-2 isolates belonged to the high-risk clone ST235. Core-genome MLST analysis revealed 7-260 allelic differences, arguing against recent transmission but a common source of infection or an ancient interpatient transmission event could not be ruled out.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Altogether, these findings suggest that <i>P. aeruginosa</i> chronic respiratory infections can be an important and silent reservoir of transferable resistance determinants and <i>P. aeruginosa</i> high-risk clones, thus contributing to their increased resistance and worldwide dissemination.</p>","PeriodicalId":14594,"journal":{"name":"JAC-Antimicrobial Resistance","volume":"7 2","pages":"dlaf053"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11976719/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143811119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
