A protocol for a systematic literature review of economic evaluation studies of interventions to address antimicrobial resistance.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is accelerated by the widespread and often indiscriminate use of antimicrobials in humans, animals, and the environment.

Over the past decade, several countries, including those in low- and middle-income contexts, have started implementing interventions to tackle AMR.
