Antibiotic resistance surveillance & control in the mediterranean region

Objetivo

EU Council Resolution 1999/C 195/01 "A strategy against the microbial threat" highlights antibiotic resistance as a major challenges facing public health and identifies the need for surveillance of antibiotic resistance, adherence to infection control principles and promotion of optimal antibiotic use. Numerous EU projects have been started in member states to address these issues, primarily European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System. European Study on Antibiotic Consumption and the HARMONY infection control project. Although preliminary evidence indicates high resistance prevalence in the Mediterranean, such networks are still absent in the much of the region. ARMed will link with these European studies and extend them to non-participating southern and eastern Mediterranean partner countries. It will study the epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance, antibiotic consumption trends, infection control measures and disseminate results widely within the region.
