TL;DR: Future development strategies should focus on antibiotics that are active against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis and Gram-negative bacteria, and include antibiotic-resistant bacteria responsible for community-acquired infections.

TL;DR: WGS-based AST using ResFinder 4.0 provides in silico antibiograms as reliable as those obtained by phenotypic AST at least for the bacterial species/antimicrobial agents of major public health relevance considered.

TL;DR: The ESAC project established for the first time a credible alternative to industry sources for the collection of internationally comparable data on antibiotic use in Europe, based on cooperation between regulatory authorities, scientific societies, health insurers and professional organizations.

TL;DR: The success of MRSA is a consequence of the extensive arsenal of virulence factors produced by S. aureus combined with β-lactam resistance and, for most clones, resistance to other antibiotic classes as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Prevalence of mcr-2 in porcine colistin-resistant E. coli (11/53) in Belgium was higher than that of mCr-1 (7/53), and data call for an immediate introduction of mCR-2 screening in ongoing molecular epidemiological surveillance of colistIn-resistant Gram-negative pathogens.
