Improvement Plan for the Korean Nationwide Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance Program
which permits unrestricted non-commercial use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Editorial In recent years, the sudden increase in the prevalence of an-timicrobial-resistant bacteria and the emergence of multi-drug-resistant bacteria have become serious worldwide problems. Therefore, in 2000, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial susceptibilities of Proteus mirabilis: a longitudinal nationwide study from the Taiwan surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (TSAR) program
BACKGROUND Longitudinal nationwide data on antimicrobial susceptibility in Proteus mirabilis from different sources are rare. The effects of the revised Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) β-lactam breakpoints on susceptibility rates and on detecting extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) and AmpC β-lactamase-producers in this species are also seldom evaluated. The present study an...
متن کاملLaboratory-based nationwide surveillance of antimicrobial resistance in Ghana
Global efforts are underway to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR). A key target in this intervention is surveillance for local and national action. Data on AMR in Ghana are limited, and monitoring of AMR is nonexistent. We sought to generate baseline data on AMR, and to assess the readiness of Ghana in laboratory-based surveillance. Biomedical scientists in laboratories across Ghana with cap...
متن کاملEmerging Infections Program as Surveillance for Antimicrobial Drug Resistance
Across the United States, antimicrobial drug-resistant infections affect a diverse population, and effective interventions require concerted efforts across various public health and clinical programs. Since its onset in 1994, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Emerging Infections Program has provided robust and timely data on antimicrobial drug-resistant infections that have been us...
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...
