Mapping antibiotic resistance in Ghana: a narrative review of regional variations in antibiotic-resistant ESKAPEE pathogens

Abstract

ABR in Ghana presents as a patterned landscape rather than a uniform national profile. Stark regional disparities and major surveillance gaps create "blind spots" that can hinder the effective implementation of national policy. Addressing this requires prioritizing surveillance in under-studied regions and standardizing methodologies. Furthermore, region-specific control strategies must be developed using a "One Health" approach, one that integrates surveillance and stewardship interventions across human healthcare, agricultural, and environmental sectors.
