| Why carried out this study? |
| Antimicrobial consumption (AMC) has declined in Japan in recent years. |
| However, we do not know whether or not the disease burden due to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been mitigated. |
| What was learned from this study? |
| Disease burden due to AMR in Japan did not decrease during the study period (2015–2020). |
| A decrease in AMC might not be a sufficient AMR countermeasure. |
