Antimicrobial Resistance: Primary Care Perspectives and Practices

Dear Colleagues,

With the current pace at which the landscape and scope of primary care are constantly evolving, and with the impact of COVID-19 on different aspects of practices of primary care and public health, antimicrobial resistance remains a top priority challenge that needs to be tackled by healthcare policies and practices. Primary care perspectives and practices are at the heart of any initiatives/action plans aimed at addressing global/local antimicrobial resistance. Thus, this Special Issue is of particular relevance, as it will focus on discovering more about the primary care perspectives and practices pertinent to the smart use of antimicrobials. It is hoped that this Special Issue will be viewed as a suitable platform to share innovative interventions and practices toward streamlining our policies and their implementation regarding the appropriate use of antimicrobial agents globally.
