Antibiotic resistance: a global issue
Because of cross-continental travel of both humans and goods, antibiotic resistant bacteria are spread from one country to another. We see global infrastructure and initiatives as imperative to curbing antibiotic resistance throughout the world. Headquartered in Boston, APUA encompasses a network of affiliated chapters in 31 countries throughout the world. This global network supports country-based activities to control and monitor antibiotic resistance tailored to local needs and customs. APUA facilitates the exchange of objective, up-to-date scientific and clinical information among scientists, health care providers, consumers and policy makers worldwide. The APUA chapters provide a multi-disciplinary approach to containing antibiotic resistance by involving expertise in infectious disease medicine, microbiology, pathology, clinical pharmacology, pharmaceutical industry and consumers.

APUA chapters serve these vital functions:

  • Raising awareness about the problem of resistance within a country and about the dangers of incorrect antibiotic usage and faulty prescriptions;
  • Communicating information on proper antibiotic usage;
  • Fostering related research and educational projects;
  • Providing a multidisciplinary approach to interventions; fostering scientifically sound solutions;
  • Affording a local platform for input and feedback into global planning efforts;
  • Providing international networking opportunities to enhance their knowledge and effectiveness at the country level.
