This guideline sets out an antimicrobial prescribing strategy for acute otitis media (ear infection). It aims to limit antibiotic use and reduce antimicrobial resistance. Acute otitis media can be caused by viruses or bacteria. It lasts for about a week, and most children get better in 3 days without ant...
These guidelines present evidence-based recommendations and best practice statements on use of medically important antimicrobials in food-producing animals, based on the WHO list of critically important antimicrobials for human medicine (WHO CIA List). These guidelines aim primarily to help preserve the ...
This document provides a summary of the evidence and recommendations for the use of SL-LPA for the detection of mutations associated with resistance to fluoroquinolones and SLID in patients with RR-TB and/or MDR-TB. The objectives of this policy guidance are to assess and compare the diagnostic accuracy ...

Tuberculosis (TB) remains a large-scale public health problem. Key global priorities for TB care and control include improving case-detection and detecting cases earlier, including cases of smear-negative disease. This document updates existing WHO policy on the use of molecular LPAs for detecting MTBC a...
