WHO plans to release its updated Bacterial Pathogen Priority List (BPPL), featuring 15 families of antibiotic-resistant bacteria of public health importance. This revised list reflects how antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is evolving and highlights the importance of continuous research and development (R&D), surveillance, and investments to address emerging public health threats.
Like the first BPPL released in 2017, the bacteria are organized into critical, high, and medium priority tiers, offering a structured approach for targeted interventions and resource allocation.
Speakers:
- Dr Alexandra Cameron, Senior Advisor, and acting Unit Head of Impact Initiatives and Research Coordination, WHO AMR Division.
- Dr Hatim Sati, BPPL project lead. Technical Officer, WHO AMR Division.
Moderated by: Tarik Jasarevic, WHO spokesperson
