Ensuring that life-saving antimicrobials remain available as effective treatment options in the face of rapidly rising levels of antimicrobial resistance will require a massive and coordinated global effort. Setting a collective direction for progress is the first step towards aligning global efforts on AMR. This process would be greatly accelerated by adopting - a well-defined global target that unites all countries and sectors. The proposed pandemic instrument - with its focus on prevention, preparedness and response - represents an ideal opportunity to develop and adopt a unifying global target that catalyzes global action on AMR. We propose three key characteristics of a unifying global target for AMR that - if embedded within the pandemic preparedness instrument - could rally public support, funding, and political commitment commensurate with the scale of the AMR challenge.
面对不断上升的抗微生物药物耐药性水平，确保救命的抗微生物药物仍然作为有效的治疗选择，这将需要大规模的、协调一致的全球努力。为进展设定一个集体方向是使全球对抗微生物药物耐药性的努力保持一致的第一步。通过采用 - 一个将所有国家和部门团结在一起的明确的全球目标，这一进程将大大加快。拟议的大流行病文书 - 重点是预防、防备和应对 - 为制定和通过一个统一的全球抗微生物药物耐药性目标提供了一个理想的机会，该目标可以促进全球对抗微生物药物耐药性的行动。我们提出了抗微生物药物耐药性统一全球目标的三个关键特征 - 如果嵌入大流行病防备文书中 - 可以聚集公众支持、资金和政治承诺，与抗微生物药物耐药性挑战的规模相称。
