WHO PRIORITY PATHOGENS

TOPIC: Science & Tech

Context- Number of antibiotics, investment not sufficient to minimise threat of wide-spread infection according to a new report. Of the 12 antibiotics companies that have gone public in the past 10 years, only 5 are still active today.

  • WHO published its list of antibiotic-resistant “priority pathogens” – a catalogue of 12 families of bacteria that pose the greatest threat to human health.

Concept-

WHO’s Global Priority Pathogen List?

  • This list is a new tool to ensure R&D responds to urgent public health needs.
  • The WHO list is divided into three categories: critical, high and medium priority.
  • PRIORITY 1: CRITICAL
    • Acinetobacterbaumannii, carbapenem-resistant
    • Pseudomonas aeruginosa, carbapenem-resistant
    • Enterobacteriaceae, carbapenem-resistant, ESBL-producing
  • PRIORITY 2: HIGH
    • Enterococcus faecium, vancomycin-resistant
    • Staphylococcus aureus, methicillin-resistant, vancomycin-intermediate and resistant
    • Helicobacter pylori, clarithromycin-resistant
    • Campylobacter spp., fluoroquinolone-resistant
    • Salmonellae, fluoroquinolone-resistant
    • Neisseria gonorrhoeae, cephalosporin-resistant, fluoroquinolone-resistant
  • PRIORITY 3: MEDIUM
    • Streptococcus pneumoniae, penicillin-non-susceptible
    • Haemophilusinfluenzae, ampicillin-resistant
    • Shigella spp., fluoroquinolone-resistant
  • The Indian Pathogen Priority List (IPPL) released by Union Ministry for Health and Family Welfare is aligned with WHO’s Global Priority Pathogen List of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
