<Li> Development of a molecular method for detecting antibiotic resistance genes </Li> <Li> To avoid the delay in distribution of US $2 billion global antibiotic resistance innovation fund . </Li> <P> Antibiotic treatment duration should be based on the infection and other health problems a person may have . For many infections once a person has improved there is little evidence that stopping treatment causes more resistance . Some therefore feel that stopping early may be reasonable in some cases . Other infections, however, do require long courses regardless of whether a person feels better . </P> <P> There are multiple national and international monitoring programs for drug - resistant threats, including methicillin - resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin - resistant S. aureus (VRSA), extended spectrum beta - lactamase (ESBL), vancomycin - resistant Enterococcus (VRE), multidrug - resistant A. baumannii (MRAB). </P>
