Indonesian researchers have tested a cheaper way of monitoring antimicrobial resistance that could be a key tool for developing countries.
Indonesian researchers have tested a cost-effective, relatively quick method of measuring changes in antimicrobial resistance that could help developing countries fight a problem seen as a global threat.
Instead of sticking to an approach that emphasises the need for intensive laboratory testing that might not be practical in many countries, they assessed lot quality assurance sampling — a system where a population’s antimicrobial resistance can be assessed using smaller sample sizes.
