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...
The importance of vaccines in combatting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is commonly accepted. Although scientific reasoning supports the putative connection between and reduction AMR, reliably measuring magnitude effect on inherently challenging, especially low resource settings. We review intrinsic challenges estimating AMR discuss limitations opportunities current methods from host, pathogen, environment perspectives. highlight advantages pitfalls different epidemiological study designs...
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...
In 2015, the UK government established Fleming Fund with aim to address critical gaps in surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) low- and middle-income countries Asia Africa. Among a large portfolio grants, Capturing Data on Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns Trends Use Regions (CAPTURA) project was awarded specific objective expanding volume historical data AMR, consumption (AMC), use (AMU) human healthcare sector across 12 South Southeast Asia.
Abstract In response to the global threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), Capturing Data on Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns and Trends in Use Regions Asia (CAPTURA) project worked with microbiology laboratories, pharmacies, local governments South Southeast expand volume historical current data available AMR use identify gaps areas for quality improvement. When CAPTURA completed its country-level engagement first half 2022, consortium brought together local, regional, stakeholders 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...
