Dear colleagues,

Researchers in Switzerland and Australia published a paper in PLOS where they question the validity of quantifying deaths due to antimicrobial resistance cited by the AMR report. They criticized that the authors failed to acknowledge the associated uncertainties regarding the incidence of infections, the prevalence of resistance and the attributable mortality. The authors conclude that detailed reliable data – comprehensive population-based surveillance data from low-, middle-, and high-income countries – is required to improve AMR control measures.
