More antimicrobial resistance admissions at Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Trust

More people with drug-resistant infections were admitted at the Hospitals of Morecambe Bay Trust last year, figures reveal. Researchers have warned that antimicrobial resistance could pose a greater public health risk than Covid-19 unless urgent action is taken to tackle the rise. NHS Digital data shows there were around 1,515 admission episodes with a diagnosis of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) at University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust in 2019-20. That was up from 1,240 recorded during the previous year, and 310 in 2014-15 – the earliest year with available data. The figures, which are rounded to the nearest five, count the first period of care a patient has under a consultant and can include admissions for which AMR was the main reason, or a contributing factor.

Submitting. The figures, which are rounded to the nearest five, count the first period of care a patient has under a consultant and can include admissions for which AMR was the main reason, or a contributing factor. AMR happens when germs build up resistance to treatments – such as bacteria to antibiotics – meaning the medicines can no longer fight infections they were developed to treat. It has led to the emergence of so-called superbugs such as MRSA, which are resistant to various types of antibiotic. It can also hinder cancer treatments as patients become more vulnerable to infection. A recent World Health Organisation report warned the world was failing to develop “desperately needed” antibacterial treatments, despite the growing awareness of the urgent threat posed by AMR.
