Antimicrobial resistance surveillance and trends in armed conflict, fragile, and non-conflict countries of the Eastern Mediterranean Region
Conflict-affected countries have weaker AMR surveillance and lower BC-BSI detection but a higher burden of resistant pathogens, notably carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter spp. and MRSA. Tailored strategies are essential to restore infrastructure, strengthen surveillance, and mitigate the long-term impact of AMR in these zones.
