The Asia Pacific region, home to two-thirds of the world's population and ten of the least developed countries, is considered a regional hot-spot for the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Despite this, there is a dearth of high-quality regional data on the extent of AMR. Recognising the urgency to close this gap, Singapore organised a meeting to discuss the problems in the region and frame a call for action. Representatives from across the region and beyond attended the meeting on the "Antimicrobial Resistance in the Asia Pacific & its impact on Singapore" held in November 2018. This meeting report is a summary of the discussions on the challenges and progress in surveillance, drivers and levers of AMR emergence, and the promising innovations and technologies that could be used to combat the increasing threat of AMR in the region. Enhanced surveillance and research to provide improved evidence-based strategies and policies are needed. The major themes that emerged for an action plan are working towards a tailored solution for the region by harnessing the One Health approach, enhancing inter-country collaborations, and collaboratively leverage upon new emerging technologies. A regionally coordinated effort that is target-driven, sustainable and builds on a framework facilitating communication and governance will strengthen the fight against AMR in the Asia Pacific region.

亚太地区的抗菌素耐药性：会议报告。

亚太地区是世界三分之二的人口和十个最不发达国家的所在地，被认为是产生和传播抗菌素耐药性（AMR）的区域热点。尽管如此，仍缺乏有关AMR范围的高质量区域数据。认识到缩小这一差距的紧迫性，新加坡组织了一次会议，讨论该地区的问题，并呼吁采取行动。来自该地区及其他地区的代表参加了于2018年11月举行的“亚太地区抗菌素耐药性及其对新加坡的影响”会议。该会议报告总结了有关监测，驱动因素和杠杆方面的挑战和进展的讨论情况关于AMR的出现，以及可用于应对该地区日益严重的AMR威胁的有希望的创新和技术。需要加强监督和研究，以提供改进的基于证据的战略和政策。一项行动计划中出现的主要主题是，通过利用“一种健康”方法，加强国家间的合作并共同利用新出现的技术，努力为该地区量身定制解决方案。以目标为导向，可持续发展并建立在促进交流和治理的框架之上的区域协调努力将加强亚太地区与抗菌药物耐药性的斗争。一项行动计划中出现的主要主题是，通过利用“一种健康”方法，加强国家间的合作并共同利用新出现的技术，努力为该地区量身定制解决方案。以目标为导向，可持续发展并建立在促进交流和治理的框架之上的区域协调努力将加强亚太地区与抗菌药物耐药性的斗争。一项行动计划中出现的主要主题是，通过利用“一种健康”方法，加强国家间的合作并共同利用新出现的技术，努力为该地区量身定制解决方案。以目标为导向，可持续发展并建立在促进交流和治理的框架之上的区域协调努力将加强亚太地区与抗菌药物耐药性的斗争。
