A Review of Antimicrobial Surveillance Networks Across the Globe
Abstract
Introduction: Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) poses a global public health threat with a wide gap between the knowledge and mechanism of resistance acquired by pathogens. This increasing hazard of AMR has
been recognized by the different geographical regions and responded to by implementing tough restrictions and AMR strengthening AMR surveillance systems for monitoring and prediction.
Methodology: We searched data using National and International databases of different geographical AMR surveillance networks and extracted information from them.
Results: In India, AMR surveillance reported fluoroquinolones and Aminoglycosides as the major group against which microbes develop resistance followed by Cephalosporins and Carbapenem whereas the WHO European Region, EU/EEA noted decreasing trend of AMR during 2016-2020 for several bacteria although an increasing trend was reported for Carbapenem-resistance in Klebsiella pneumoniae and represents the region’s most serious concern.
Conclusion: India currently has two independent AMR surveillance networks, whereas the European surveillance system presents a trajectory of resistance data based on consumption data.
