AB - Background: Antibiotic resistance (ABR) is an urgent problem globally, with overuse and misuse of antibioticsbeing one of the main drivers of antibiotic-resistant infections. There is increasing evidence that the burden ofcommunity-acquired infections such as urinary tract infections and bloodstream infections (both susceptible andresistant) may differ by ethnicity, although the reasons behind this relationship are not well defined. It has beendemonstrated that socioeconomic status and ethnicity are often highly correlated with each other; however, it isnot yet known whether accounting for deprivation completely explains any discrepancy seen in infection risk. Therehave currently been no systematic reviews summarising the evidence for the relationship between ethnicity andantibiotic resistance or prescribing.Methods: This protocol will outline how we will conduct this systematic literature review and meta-analysisinvestigating whether there is an association between patient ethnicity and (1) risk of antibiotic-resistant infectionsor (2) levels of antibiotic prescribing in high-income countries. We will search PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE, GlobalHealth, Scopus and CINAHL using MESH terms where applicable. Two reviewers will conduct title/abstract screening,data extraction and quality assessment independently. The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) checklist will beused for cohort and case-control studies, and the Cochrane collaboration’s risk of bias tool will be used for randomisedcontrol trials, if they are included. Meta-analyses will be performed by calculating the minority ethnic group to majorityethnic group odds ratios or risk ratios for each study and presenting an overall pooled odds ratio for the two outcomes.The Grading of Recommendations, Assessments, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) approach will be used to assessthe overall quality of the body of evidence.Discussion: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we will aim to collate the avail
