Clinical vulnerability
Resources for addressing health inequalities in antimicrobial resistance amongst the clinically vulnerable.
People with clinical vulnerability, including complex needs and long-term conditions, may be disproportionately affected by drug-resistant infections due to increased healthcare exposure, higher antibiotic use, and greater risk of complications—factors that intersectional AMR research identifies as drivers of inequitable AMR exposure and outcomes.
