Antimicrobial resistance among GLASS priority pathogens from Pakistan: 2006-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In 2018 Pakistan initiated its national antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance aligned with Global Antimicrobial Surveillance System (GLASS). To complement this surveillance, we conducted a situational analysis of AMR rates among GLASS organisms in the country. Data from published studies and from antibiograms was compared and role of antibiograms as potential contributors to national AMR surveillance explored.

Methods

AMR rates for GLASS specified pathogen/antimicrobials combination from Pakistan were reviewed. Data sources included published studies (2006-2018) providing AMR rates from Pakistan (n = 54) as well as antibiograms (2011-2018) available on the Pakistan Antimicrobial Resistance Network (PARN) website. Resistance rates were categorized as follows:
