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

Ensuring sustainable access to effective antibiotics for EVERYONE - EVERYWHERE

ReAct Action on Antibiotic Resistance (2021) CC

How to address the global crisis in antibiotic research and development. The report includes a comprehensive summary and critical evaluation of recent initiatives to overcome the barriers to achieve sustainable access to antibiotics. As antibiotic resistance will continue to develop as long as we depend on these medicines to treat bacterial infections, a continuous supply of new effective antibiotics is needed. The report identifies five key challenges that must be solved in order to achieve sustainable access for all, and charts out options for governmental action in response to each of them

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

Technical brief on water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) and wastewater management to prevent infections and reduce the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)

World Health Organization WHO, Food and Agriculture Organization FAO, World Organization for Animal Health OIE (2020) C_WHO

Improvements in water sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and wastewater management in all sectors are critical elements of preventing infections and reducing the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as identified in the Global Action Plan to combat AMR. Yet, at present, WASH and wastewater management actors and improvement actions are under-represented in AMR multi-stakeholder platforms and national action plans (NAPs). This WHO/FAO/OIE technical brief on WASH and wastewater management to reduce the spread of AMR provides a summary of evidence and rationale for WASH and wastewater actions within AMR NAPs and sector specific policy to combat AMR. Evidence and actions are presented in the domains of; coordination and leadership, households and communities, health care facilities, animal and plant production, manufacturing of antimicrobials, and surveillance and research
