Abstract
The emergence of the SARS-CoV-2 respiratory virus has required an unprecedented response to control the spread of the infection and protect the most vulnerable within society. Whilst the pandemic has focused society on the threat of emerging infections and hand hygiene, certain infection control and antimicrobial stewardship policies may have to be relaxed. It is unclear whether the unintended consequences of these changes will have a net-positive or -negative impact on rates of antimicrobial resistance. Whilst the urgent focus must be on allaying this pandemic, sustained efforts to address the longer-term global threat of antimicrobial resistance should not be overlooked.
