Antimicrobial Resistance Comprehensive Reviews

With the assistance of an expert advisory group, NCCID is working on a number of projects to help reduce the burden of community-acquired antimicrobial resistance.  For example:

• Comprehensive Reviews: One project involved support for the development of comprehensive reviews that described population-level interventions to reduce the development and transmission of caAMR. In fall 2008, a thorough review process was undertaken and three proposals were selected. Drafts of the comprehensive reviews were read by at least five independent reviewers. Comments were sent to the authors in a compiled, anonymous fashion, who then incorporated the suggestions.
