Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance is increasing globally at a rapid pace, and patients in low- and middle-income countries are at high risk. The need for inter-country partnerships with the ultimate goal of building capacity in the fields of infection prevention and antimicrobial stewardship in these settings is of utmost importance. Reciprocal, long-term, supported relationships between collaborators from low- and middle-income countries and high-income countries will have high benefit to all partners. This paper looks at recent literature in antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention and offers recommendations for building sustainable partnerships benefitting all collaborators working to reduce antimicrobial resistance.
