Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) Report: 2021

World Health Organization WHO (2021) C_WHO

9 June 2021 Since its launch, GLASS has expanded in scope and coverage and as of May 2021, 109 countries and territories worldwide have enrolled in GLASS. A key new component in GLASS is the inclusion of antimicrobial consumption (AMC) surveillance at the national level highlighted in this fourth GLASS report. The fourth GLASS report summarizes the 2019 data reported to WHO in 2020. It includes data on AMC surveillance from 15 countries and AMR data on 3 106 602 laboratory-confirmed infections reported by 24 803 surveillance sites in 70 countries, compared to the 507 923 infections and 729 surveillance sites reporting to the first data call in 2017. The report also describes developments over the past years of GLASS and other AMR surveillance programmes led by WHO, including resistance to anti-human immunodeficiency virus and anti-tuberculosis medicines, antimalarial drug efficacy

WHO policy guidance on integrated antimicrobial stewardship activities

WHO (2021) CC

Member States have requested WHO policy guidance on how to facilitate the implementation of national AMS activities in an integrated and programmatic approach. This policy guidance responds to that demand from Member States and is anchored in public health guiding principles in the human health sector. It aims to provide a set of evidence-based and pragmatic recommendations to drive comprehensive and integrated AMS activities under the purview of a central national coordination unit, National AMR steering or coordinating committees or other equivalent national authorities

Reports of antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) microorganisms are increasing globally, threatening to render existing treatments ineffective against many infectious diseases. In Africa, AMR has already been documented to be a problem for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and the pathogens that cause malaria, tuberculosis (TB), typhoid, cholera, meningitis, gonorrhoea and dysentery. Recognizing the urgent need for action, the 2016 United Nations (UN) General Assembly approved a resolution to ensure sustained and effective global action to address AMR

Monitoring global progress on antimicrobial resistance: Tripartite AMR country self-assessment survey (TrACSS) 2019-2020

World Health Organization WHO (2021) C_WHO

The Tripartite AMR Country Self-Assessment Survey (TrACSS) helps to monitor country progress on the implementation of AMR national actions plans and has been administered on an annual basis by the Tripartite organizations (Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and World Health Organization (WHO)) since 2016. This report analyzes the global responses on the fourth round of TrACSS (2019-2020) and examines the global trends and actions towards addressing AMR in all sectors. Complete country and global responses to all rounds of the survey can be accessed through the TrACSS database: https://amrcountryprogress.org/

The State of the World’s Antibiotics Report 2021

Siriam, A.; et al. The Center For Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy CDDEP (2021) CC

A Global Analysis of Antimicrobial Resistance and Its Drivers. Since the first State of the World’s Antibiotics report in 2015, antimicrobial resistance has leveled off in some high-income countries but continues to rise in many low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where access to antibiotics has risen with increases in gross domestic product per capita. Per capita antibiotic consumption in LMICs is lower than in high-income countries, despite a higher infectious disease burden; however, consumption rates are rapidly converging. These trends reflect both better access to antibiotics for those who need them and increases in inappropriate antibiotic use

Protocol for Enhanced Isolate-Level Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance in the Americas. Primary Phase: Bloodstream Infections

Pan American Health Organisation PAHO (2021) C_WHO

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance plays an important role in the early detection of resistant strains of public health importance and prompt response to outbreaks in hospitals and the community. Surveillance findings are needed to inform medical practice, antibiotic stewardship, and policy and interventions to combat AMR. Appropriate use of antimicrobials, informed by surveillance, improves patients’ treatment outcomes and reduces the emergence and spread of AMR. This protocol describes the steps and procedures to establish/enhance AMR surveillance in Latin America and the Caribbean

Protocolo para el fortalecimiento de la vigilancia de la resistencia a los antimicrobianos basada en aislamientos en las Américas. Primera fase: hemocultivos

Pan American Health Organisation PAHO (2021) C_WHO

La vigilancia de la resistencia a los antimicrobianos (RAM) desempeña un papel importante en la detección temprana de cepas resistentes que revisten gran importancia para la salud pública, así como en la respuesta rápida a los brotes en los hospitales y en la comunidad. Los resultados de la vigilancia son necesarios para fundamentar la práctica médica, la administración de antibióticos, y las políticas e intervenciones para combatir la RAM. El uso apropiado de antimicrobianos, fundamentado en la vigilancia, mejora los resultados del tratamiento de los pacientes y reduce la aparición y propagación de la RAM

Instruments internationaux sur l’utilisation des antimicrobiens dans les secteurs de la santé humaine, des animaux et des plantes

the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the World Health Organization (WHO) (2020) C_WHO

La publication fournit une vue d'ensemble et une analyse des instruments internationaux qui établissent des normes relatives à l'utilisation des antimicrobiens dans les secteurs humain, animal et végétal, et à leur rejet dans l'environnement. L'objectif de ce document est d'identifier les instruments et les normes existants afin de guider leur mise en œuvre et d'éclairer les discussions et l'orientation des futurs instruments internationaux relatifs à l'utilisation des antimicrobien

International instruments on the use of antimicrobials across the human, animal and plant sectors

the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the World Health Organization (WHO) (2020) C_WHO

The publication provides an overview and analysis of international instruments that set standards related to the use of antimicrobials across the human, animal and plant sectors, and their release into the environment. The purpose of the document is to identify existing instruments and standards in order to guide both their implementation and to inform discussions and direction for future international instruments related to antimicrobial use
