A major issue in the surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is "de-duplication" or removal repeated isolates, for which there exist multiple methods. The World Health Organization (WHO) Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (GLASS) requires de-duplication by selecting only first isolate a given bacterial species per patient period specimen type age group, gender, and infection origin stratification. However, no study on comparative application this method has been...

: Antimicrobial resistance surveillance is essential for empiric antibiotic prescribing, infection prevention and control policies to drive novel discovery. However, most existing systems are isolate-based without supporting patient-based clinical data, not widely implemented especially in low- middle-income countries (LMICs).

Synopsis Objectives The COVID-19 pandemic has had a substantial impact on health systems. WHO Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Collaborating Centres Network conducted survey to assess the effects of AMR surveillance, prevention and control. Methods From October-December 2020, Global Use Surveillance System (GLASS) national focal points completed questionnaire including Likert-scales open-ended questions. Data were descriptively analysed, income/regional differences assessed, free-text...
