An independent international network to improve the management of antibiotic resistance www.reactgroup.org

ReAct: Main areas of action Increasing the visibility of antibiotic resistance in the global health dialogue Catalyzing actions for behavioural change, civil society mobilization and national coordinated policies against antibiotic resistance Promoting a needs-driven research and development model for new antibiotics

“It is not difficult to make microbes resistant to penicillin …. “The time may come when penicillin can be bought by anyone in the shops…. “ Alexander Fleming's Nobel Lecture 1945

Antibiotic use is widespread: 65% of respondents across the 12 countries included in the survey report having taken antibiotics in the past six months, including more than one third (35%) who took antibiotics within the past month.

Some parts of the world have already run out of effective antibiotics About 70% of neonatal systemic infections can not be treated with the antibiotics recommended by WHO…. Lancet 2005; 365: 1175–88
14
“Across developing countries fewer than a third of children with suspected pneumonia receive antibiotics” United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) June 2012 ….and some never entered the antibiotic era.
15
Ongoing Update 2015: Availability decreases, common long lasting shortages Pivmecillinam Fosfomycin oral Temocillin Available Available through special system Mecillinam iv Availability of old antibiotics C. Pulcini et al. CID 2012;54:268

For too long antibiotic resistance has been under the radar screen

Orphanage in Bamako, Mali ESBL colonized 100% of the children and 63%, of the adult staff studied. Tandé et al. Emerg Infect Dis. 2009 Mar;15(3):472-4. Mumhibili hospital, Tanzania Tanzania The mortality rate from Gram-negative bloodstream infection was 43 %, more than double that of malaria.. Blomberg et al. BMC Infect Dis. 2007 May 22;7:43.

New antibiotics New antibiotics Marketing Over- consumtion Over- consumtion Resistance The failing machinery….
22
“The infrastructure of antibiotic discovery both in academia and in industry is at a dangerously low level and needs to be rebuilt”

26
A leaking system New antibiotics Marketing Volume sales Misaligned financial incentives Irrational use
27
Towards a new financial model for R&D of novel antibiotics Needs driven - based on analysis of pipeline vs resistance and its burden Solving the scientific challenges Collaboration and knowledge sharing Incentives that stimulates R&D of priority antibiotics De-linking return of investment from sales Controlled use and distribution Equitable global access and affordability
28
No effective treatment for bacterial infections Inadequate prevention leading to avoidable infections Infection Inapppropriate use of antibiotics leading to development of resistance Inadequate incentives for R&D of new antibiotics Inno- vation failure Clinical failure Antibiot ic resistan ce Antibiotic resistance: A systems failure Adapted from Kevin Outterson www.chathamhouse.org/sites/files/

“We agree that attention should be given to global health risks, such as antimicrobial resistance, infectious disease threats and weak health systems. These can significantly impact growth and stability”.

“Given these global coordination issues, there is a clear role for a binding international legal framework to encompass the issues of access, conservation and innovation “
