Here are the links for the PRO-CON debate published in JAC-AMR:
PRO: "Disruptive direct and indirect effects of COVID-19 globally on economic systems, governance and public health expenditure and infrastructure may fuel AMR spread. " @ClancyNeil https://academic.oup.com/jacamr/article/2/3/dlaa049/5872561

"For this debate we show why, overall, COVID-19 will not result in increased AMR prevalence. But globally, changes in AMR rates will not be uniform." @CollignonPeter

In this study from Korea, of 6871 patients with COVID-19, 2419 (35.21%) and 536 (7.80%) were prescribed total antibiotics and anti-MRSA or anti-pseudomonal antibiotics.
Authors call for antibiotic stewardship. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7604125/

10/12 Interesting antimicrobial stewardship study in @ICHEJournal @milnerstaub @codeblieu
After initial increase in antibiotic use in #COVID_19 patients, starting a multispecialty COVID-19 clinical guidance team resulted in abx use decreases.
