Local stores and villages team up to curb dangerous antibiotic overuse
NCT ID NCT05378880
Summary
This study tested a community-based program in rural Burkina Faso and the Democratic Republic of Congo designed to fight the rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. The program worked with local medicine stores and their surrounding villages to promote better antibiotic use and improved hygiene practices. Researchers measured if the program successfully reduced the sale of specific, powerful antibiotics and tracked changes in hygiene and the presence of drug-resistant germs in people and their local environment.
