WHO Bacterial Priority Pathogens List, 2024

The 2024 WHO Bacterial Priority Pathogens List (WHO BPPL) is a crucial resource in the global fight against antimicrobial resistance. The lit helps to guide research, development and strategies to prevent and control antimicrobial resistance. Updated from its 2017 version, the list prioritizes antibiotic-resistant bacterial pathogens, aiding research and public health efforts.

Covering 24 pathogens across 15 families, it highlights Gram-negative bacteria, drug-resistant tuberculosis, and other high-burden pathogens. The list's focus on R&D and tailored strategies underscores the urgent need for effective solutions. Learn more about its impact and methodologies in this report.
