Studies were from the USA (12), UK (2), New Zealand (2) and Australia (1). Staphylococcus aureus was the most studied pathogen, with ethnicity, deprivation and age as key factors examined. In the USA, Black patients had MRSA rates 2\u20133 times higher than White patients, despite overall declines. Indigenous Australians also had elevated rates compared with non-indigenous populations. When socioeconomic factors and age were accounted for, racial disparities in MRSA were significantly reduced. Hispanic patients had higher rates of Streptococcus pneumoniae penicillin-resistant infections than non-Hispanic White patients. Escherichia coli resistance was more prevalent in low-income or high-deprivation groups, with ethnic minorities in New Zealand also disproportionately affected. Helicobacter pylori was most common in M\u0101ori populations compared with other ethnicities, and income inequality correlated with resistance in Enterococcus, Klebsiella and Pseudomonas across Europe.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We highlight the potential
