Acronyms and Concepts 10

1. Introduction 11

1.1. Scope and overview 11

2. Antimicrobial resistance in long-term care facilities is a unique threat 15

2.1. Long-term care residents are at higher risk of health care associated infections compared to older people living in the community 15

2.2. Infection prevention and control is more challenging in long-term care facilities than in acute care hospitals 16

2.3. Multi-drug resistant organisms are more prevalent and severe in long-term care facilities than in the community 17

3. Trends in antimicrobial use and resistance in long-term care 18

3.1. Empirical prescribing and extended prophylaxis are common in long-term care facilities 19

3.2. A significant share of antimicrobial prescriptions in long-term care facilities are inappropriate 20

3.3. Inappropriate antimicrobial consumption in long-term care facilities puts all residents at risk, not just those taking antimicrobials 22

3.4. Factors behind inappropriate use of antimicrobials in long-term care facilities relate to residents and their relatives, prescribers, facilities, health care... 23

3.5. Resistant organisms are becoming more prevalent in long-term care facilities 24

3.6. There is resistance in long-term care facilities to critically important antimicrobials 25

4. Interventions to tackle antimicrobial resistance in long-term care 27

4.1. Better surveillance of antimicrobial resistance and more testing in long-term care settings are needed 27

4.2. Antimicrobial stewardship programmes can prevent antimicrobial resistance in long-term care facilities 29

4.3. Infection prevention and control should be implemented alongside antimicrobial stewardship programmes 35

5. Conclusion 42
