[Articles] Global policy responses to antimicrobial resistance, 2021–22: a systematic governance analysis of 161 countries and territories

Implementation tools should be prioritised in the design and execution of NAPs, especially measures that improve infection prevention and control, surveillance systems for antimicrobial use, and stewardship programmes.
