Issues of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) bacteria are a serious problem to tackle the global health crisis, which drove the government to formulate the National Action Plan on AMR to change this situation for the better until 2020 in Japan. The plan consists of themes such as education and enlightenment, surveillance and monitoring, prevention and infection control, promotion of the proper use of antimicrobial agents, and so on. We present our concrete examples of the practice in each theme of the AMR action plan in our hospital, Yokohama City University Medical Center.

Key words:antimicrobial resistance, AMR, AMR action plan
