The barriers and facilitators of implementing a national laboratory-based AMR surveillance system in Cambodia: key informants' perspectives and assessments of microbiology laboratories.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Collecting data on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an essential approach for defining the scope of the AMR problem, developing evidence-based interventions and detecting new and emerging resistances. Our study aimed to identify key factors influencing the implementation of a laboratory-based AMR surveillance system in Cambodia. This will add additional insights to the development of a sustainable and effective national AMR surveillance system in Cambodia and other low- and middle-income countries.

Methods

Key informants with a role in governing or contributing data to the laboratory-based surveillance system were interviewed. Emerging themes were identified using the framework analysis method. Laboratories contributing to the AMR surveillance system were assesse
