A pledge to defeat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been signed by many of pharma’s biggest companies during an event hosted as part of the United Nations (UN) General Assembly high-level meeting.

The Roadmap for Progress on Combating Antimicrobial Resistance details 15 specific actions that companies will take forward, including measures to reduce the environmental impact from production of antibiotics, help to ensure that they are only used by patients who need them, improve access to current and future antibiotics, vaccines, and diagnostics, and explore new opportunities for open collaborations between industry and the public sector.
