Surveillance for Antimicrobial Resistance in Croatia
We describe the activities of the Croatian Committee for Antibiotic Resistance Surveillance and report surveillance results for 1999. Twenty-two Croatian microbiology laboratories participated in the study. Resistance rates for the organisms isolated in different centers varied widely, but certain trends were apparent. Penicillin resistance in pneumococci (38%), methicillin resistance in Staphy...
متن کاملStrategy for antimicrobial resistance surveillance in Australia.

There is good evidence that surveillance is a costeffective infection control strategy.1,2 Appropriate surveillance provides vital information for the targeting ...
متن کاملThe need for antimicrobial resistance surveillance.
Although antimicrobial agents drastically reduced patient morbidity and mortality, bacterial resistance to these agents developed shortly after their introduction. Because the laboratory diagnosis of respiratory tract infection (RTI) is not always possible, and rarely of immediate use, treatment success or failure often depends upon the availability of reliable susceptibility information at the...
متن کاملNational Minimum Data Set for Antimicrobial Resistance Management: Toward Global Surveillance System
Background: Success of infection treatment depends on the availability of accurate, reliable, and comprehensive data, information, and knowledge at the point of therapeutic decision-making. The identification of a national minimum data set will support the development and implementation of an effective surveillance system. The goal of this study was to develop a national antimicrobial resistanc...
متن کاملSurveillance for Antimicrobial Drug Resistance in Under-Resourced Countries
Antimicrobial drug resistance is usually not monitored in under-resourced countries because they lack surveillance networks, laboratory capacity, and appropriate diagnostics. This accelerating problem accounts for substantial number of excess deaths, especially among infants. Infections particularly affected by antimicrobial drug resistance include tuberculosis, malaria, severe acute respirator...
