A report from Indian Express :
" With the Lancet study ringing alarm bells on anti-microbial resistance and global health experts gathering in Bangkok to discuss the drug-resistant ‘superbug’, it has now been pointed out that WHO had last year itself found excessive rates of antibiotic prescriptions and resistance developed to them by patients in India, based on a study conducted between 2002 and 2006.
Titled “Community based Surveillance of Antimicrobial use and Resistance in Resource Constrained Settings”, the study examined trends of antibiotic use in India and South Africa. Data was collected between 2002 and 2006 in Delhi, Mumbai and Vellore, and in Durban and Brits in South Africa."
