Central Asian and Eastern European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance

This report describes the resistance data from five countries in the WHO European Region gathered through the Central Asian and Eastern European Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance network. Guidance is provided to the reader on how to interpret the surveillance data with caution, taking conditions outside the direct control of the national antimicrobial resistance surveillance system into account, which may reduce the reliability and representativeness of the data. The aim of this report is to provide guidance and inspiration to countries that are building or strengthening their national antimicrobial resistance surveillance and to stimulate the sharing of data internationally. WHO and its partners remain committed to support countries in these endeavours through the activities of the network.
