High quality surveillance is the basis of antimicrobial resistance containment / 中华临床感染病杂志

ABSTRACT

Antimicrobial resistance surveillance is the basis of drug resistance control. It is of great value to understand the development trend of drug resistance, newly emerging resistant bacteria, drug resistance control policy formulation, antimicrobial stewardship, new antibiotics research and development, and related basic researches. High quality surveillance lays a solid foundation to ensure the scientific value of the results; it is necessary to carry out active surveillance to obtain results under the same quality standard with uniform methods, which can make up for the lack of passive survey and guarantee the accurate application of data.
