Abstract
|
|
|
In May 2015, the 68th World Health Assembly adopted the Global Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), which reflected the global consensus that AMR threatens human health. Accordingly, the WHO has developed the Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (GLASS) to promote standardized AMR surveillance globally. The goal of GLASS is to enable standardized, comparable and validated data on AMR to be collected, analyzed and shared with countries.
Since May 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has established the AMR surveillance system for general hospitals in six large cities and provinces in Korea, which is compatible with GLASS of WHO. From the defined specimens (blood, urine, feces, urethral and cervical swabs), the priority pathogens are isolated, and the antimicrobial susceptibility of all the priority pathogens is determined.
This study may produce meaningful data at a global level to enable analysis of the occurrence and trends of AMR, and establish prevention and control programmes against AMR.
