AMR From the Cradle to the Grave - Pediatrics and Immunocompromised Children - Episode 1

Explore the critical public health threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in pediatric populations through this 46-minute webinar from the American Society for Microbiology's comprehensive AMR series. Examine the alarming statistic that one in five AMR-related deaths in 2019 involved children under five years old, while focusing specifically on the heightened vulnerability of immunocompromised children to resistant infections. Learn from compelling patient and practitioner stories that illustrate real-world impacts of AMR in pediatric care, and discover evidence-based policy recommendations designed to reduce childhood illnesses and deaths attributed to antimicrobial resistance. Gain insights into the unique challenges healthcare providers face when treating resistant infections in young and immunocompromised patients, and understand the urgent need for targeted interventions to protect this vulnerable population from the growing threat of drug-resistant pathogens.
