Abstract：
BACKGROUND: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major global public health crisis and around the last decade, newspapers were one of the main sources of public dissemination of information for so. This study highlights how Bangladeshi mainstream newspapers represented AMR-related news and how they created the narrative of AMR in Bangladesh.
METHODS: We conducted both quantitative and qualitative content analysis on 275 AMR-related news articles published in the twelve highest circulated dailies (January 2010 to September 2021). We divided the articles into report, opinion, and editorials and analyzed how their contents built the narrative of AMR in Bangladesh.
RESULTS: Bangladeshi newspapers reported misuse of antibiotics by the consumers the most (32.2%), followed by selling without prescriptions (29%), and over-prescription by the health providers (26.1%). There were hardly any news reports describing the impact of pharmaceutical companies in prescribing and selling antibiotics. Around 45% of the news articles were event-oriented. Moreover, they suggested inadequate recommendations to battle AMR.
CONCLUSIONS: Valid, consistent, and reliable AMR news coverage can play a crucial role in creating mass awareness, making providers accountable, and supporting national action plan in mitigating AMR threat. The Bangladeshi journalists interested in reporting AMR-issues should focus on disseminating more Bangla articles with scientific information, and reporting causes and recommendations responsibly.

摘要：
背景：抗菌素耐药性（AMR）是一个重大的全球公共卫生危机，在过去的十年中，因此，报纸是公众传播信息的主要来源之一。这项研究强调了孟加拉国主流报纸如何代表与AMR相关的新闻，以及它们如何在孟加拉国创建AMR的叙述。
方法：我们对发表在12份发行量最高的日报（2010年1月至2021年9月）中的275篇与AMR相关的新闻文章进行了定量和定性内容分析。我们把文章分成报告，意见，和社论，并分析了他们的内容如何构建孟加拉国AMR的叙述。
结果：孟加拉国报纸报道了最多的消费者滥用抗生素（32.2％），其次是无处方销售(29%)，和医疗服务提供者的过度处方(26.1%)。几乎没有任何新闻报道描述制药公司在处方和销售抗生素方面的影响。大约45％的新闻文章是面向事件的。此外，他们提出的对抗AMR的建议不足。
结论：有效，一致,可靠的AMR新闻报道可以在创造大众意识方面发挥关键作用，让提供者负责，并支持减轻AMR威胁的国家行动计划。有兴趣报道AMR问题的孟加拉国记者应专注于传播更多带有科学信息的孟加拉国文章，负责任地报告原因和建议。
