Overview

Analysis identifies increases and eventual decreases in antimicrobial use during COVID-19, highlighting patterns in the Access and Watch categories.

Key Points

  • Antimicrobial use showed a significant increase during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly in systemic antibacterial use.
  • Data revealed that cefixime and azithromycin were the most consumed antibiotics in Bangladesh between 2021 and 2023.
  • Most antibiotics utilized are broad-spectrum 'Watch'-category antibiotics, comprising 50-67% of oral and 70-91% of parenteral types.
  • A focus on reducing the use of Watch-category antibiotics is essential to meet the global access target by 2030.
