Antifungal resistance and stewardship: a call to action in Zambia
Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a silent pandemic that poses a global threat without regard to borders. In Zambia, considerable research attention has been devoted to the resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics, antivirals, and antimalarials, while antifungal resistance remains conspicuously unexplored. Here, we offer a perspective to shed light on the current situation regarding antifungal resistance and stewardship in Zambia. We delve into the implications of this unaddressed issue, discussing potential consequences, and exploring the benefits of increased research and policy intervention.
