Antimicrobial Resistance in the Netherlands: A Natural Experiment?
Use and misuse of antimicrobial agents lead to antimicrobial resistance. This is well-known, as it is equally well known that restrictive use results in lower resistance rates. However, how powerful restrictive use is in minimizing the rise of antimicrobial resistance is not very well documented. There are examples in the literature of changes in antibiotic use that have led to lowering resista...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae and emerging ciprofloxacin resistance in the Netherlands, 1991 to 1998.
Surveillance of antibiotic resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae showed a decrease in the percentage of beta-lactamase-producing isolates but an increase in intermediately penicillin-resistant strains and strains resistant to a high level of tetracycline. MICs for the ciprofloxacin-resistant isolates that emerged increased, and these isolates had mutations in gyrA and parC similar to those observ...
متن کاملA summary index for antimicrobial resistance in food animals in the Netherlands
BACKGROUND The Dutch government has set targets for reduction of antimicrobial usage in food animals, stipulating a 50% reduction in usage (on a weight basis) in 2013 as compared to 2009 and a 70% decrease in 2015. A monitoring program has been instituted to evaluate the impact on antimicrobial resistance (AMR). The Dutch Ministry of Public Health Welfare and Sports has expressed the need for a...
متن کاملPrice clustering and natural resistance points in the Dutch stock market : a natural experiment
This paper focuses on the tendency of stock prices to cluster at round numbers (like 10, 20, 30 etc and to a lesser extend 5, 15, 25, etc) and the related effect of round number price barriers (prices pass less frequently round numbers than other numbers). These effects are against any strict definition of the efficient market theory. Two competing hypotheses are tested, using data from the Dut...
متن کاملNational laboratory-based surveillance system for antimicrobial resistance: a successful tool to support the control of antimicrobial resistance in the Netherlands
An important cornerstone in the control of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a well-designed quantitative system for the surveillance of spread and temporal trends in AMR. Since 2008, the Dutch national AMR surveillance system, based on routine data from medical microbiological laboratories (MMLs), has developed into a successful tool to support the control of AMR in the Netherlands. It provide...
