Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health issue, particularly in resource-limited, low- to middle-income countries like Bangladesh. In this study, we analyze and present four years of data on AMR from tertiary care hospital Bangladesh inform policymakers the wider community. Methods: retrospective cross-sectional collected for 4403 bacterial isolates reported between January 2017 February 2020 at Mymensingh Medical College Hospital (MMCH), All were entered,...
The analysis and visualisation of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance data is a crucial challenge, especially in high-burden, low-middle-income countries. We describe the design, development, integration, implementation Quick Analysis Antimicrobial Patterns Trends (QAAPT) tool for AMR visualisation. QAAPT was created by Capturing Data on Resistance Use Regions Asia project, led International Vaccine Institute (IVI). This open-source web-based tool/application generates statistical...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a critical public health issue in Bangladesh, where antibiotic use widespread but often unregulated. A nationwide study (2017–2020) analyzing data from 26 laboratories examined bacterial trends across 232,329 isolates various clinical specimens. Escherichia coli was the most common pathogen (32.48%), followed by Klebsiella spp. (15.50%) and Pseudomonas (10.60%). Urine specimens comprised 50.3% of tested samples, while blood soft tissue/body fluids accounted...
Introduction: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an urgent global public health problem. It threatens effective treatment of infections and leads to prolonged duration illness, higher morbidity mortality rates, increased cost care. The effectiveness currently available antibiotics decreasing as a result increasing resistant strains among clinical isolates. Objective: aim this study was determine the bacterial profile AMR patterns isolates from different specimens at Uttara Adhunik Medical...
Background: It is essential to monitor causative agents of infections and antimicrobial resistance patterns inform treatment policy at the local level. In this study, we investigated microbiological profile antibiotic susceptibility pattern records in a tertiary care hospital. Materials Method: This cross-sectional study was performed hospital Dhaka city, Bangladesh. The utilized retrospective descriptive research approach conducted between January 2018 February 2021 which culture results...
Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a pressing global health concern, leading to increased treatment costs, prolonged hospital stays, and higher mortality rates. This study analyzes the prevalence trends of AMR in pathogenic bacteria isolated from various clinical specimens Chattogram Medical College Hospital (CMCH) Chittagong, Bangladesh. The objective track over an extended period provide comparative analytics for local surveillance efforts. Methods: Retrospective data June 2017...
The high prevalence of hypertension in coastal regions poses a significant public health challenge due to factors such as salt intake, air pollution, poor diets, limited healthcare access, and increased stress levels. However, disparities diagnosed between non-coastal areas Bangladesh remain underexplored. This study aims investigate address the among adults both regions. In 2020–2021, cross-sectional was conducted assess included 3917 from six districts, including Prevalence ratios (PRs)...
Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing global public health challenge associated with 4.95 million deaths in 2019 and an estimated 10 per year by 2050 the absence of coordinated action. A robust AMR surveillance system therefore required to avert such scenario. Based on analysis country-level data 8 Capturing Data Resistance Patterns Trends Use Regions Asia (CAPTURA) countries, we present list key recommendations strengthen surveillance. We propose primary considerations under...
Abstract The Institute of Epidemiology, Disease Control and Research (IEDCR) conducts active, case-based national antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance in Bangladesh. Capturing Data on Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns Trends Use Regions Asia (CAPTURA) project accessed aggregated retrospective data from non-IEDCR study sites 9 IEDCR to understand the pattern extent AMR use analyzed guide ongoing future both public private laboratories. Record-keeping practices, completeness, quality...
Abstract Excessive or inappropriate antimicrobial use contributes to resistance, emphasizing the need monitor and document types quantities of antibiotics used. Thus, data on consumption (AMC) usage (AMU) are key in informing promoting judicious use. Our study, conducted during 2019–2023, as part CAPTURA project, aimed understand state availability quality for AMC AMU monitoring Asia. In this article, we describe challenges opportunities faced provide examples analysis. World Health...
Abstract Background An effective implementation of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance projects requires sustainable and multidisciplinary engagement with stakeholders from various backgrounds, interests aims. The “Capturing Data on Antimicrobial Patterns Trends in Use Regions Asia” (CAPTURA) project, funded by the Fleming Fund, initially targeted 12 countries South Asia (SA) Southeast (SEA) to “expand volume historical current data AMR usage” support local agencies through capacity...
Abstract Data on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) from sites not participating in the National AMR surveillance network, conducted by Public Health Laboratory (NPHL), remain largely unknown Nepal. The “Capturing Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns and Trends Use Regions of Asia” (CAPTURA) assessed data previously untapped sources A retrospective cross-sectional review was carried out for recorded between January 2017 December 2019 to analyze 26 hospital-based laboratories 2 diagnostic Of 56...
Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a multifaceted global health problem disproportionately affecting low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The Capturing data on Patterns Trends in Use Regions of Asia (CAPTURA) project was tasked to expand the volume AMR antimicrobial use Asia. CAPTURA used 2 data-collection streams: facility metadata. Project metadata constituted information collected map out sources assess quality, while referred retrospective from healthcare facilities. A...
Abstract The increasing trends in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) continue to pose a significant threat human health, with grave consequences low- and middle-income countries. In collaboration local governments microbiology laboratories South Asian Southeast countries, the Capturing Data on Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns Trends Use Regions of Asia (CAPTURA) project worked identify gaps expand volume existing AMR data inform decision-makers how best strengthen their national surveillance...
