ICMR's Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance system (i-AMRSS): a promising tool for global antimicrobial resistance surveillance.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Growing resistance to antimicrobials has become an important health issue of the 21st century. Many international, national and local approaches are being employed for the control and prevention of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Among them, surveillance is reported to be the best method to reduce the spread of infection and thereby AMR. An integral component of AMR surveillance is the informatics suite for collection, storage and analysis of surveillance data.

Methods

Considering the traits of an optimal surveillance tool and constraints with existing tools, Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) initiated the design and development of ICMR's Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance system (i-AMRSS). i-AMRSS is a web-based tool built using modular a
