Fig 1

In 2020, GLASS collated bacteriologically confirmed bloodstream infections due to the following pathogens: Acinetobacter spp., Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Salmonella spp., Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae. Reporting shows gross heterogeneity in patient population testing coverage (relative to the total population in each country) for one of the most life-threatening infectious syndromes. Of note, several counties were not able to report 2020 AMR data to GLASS during the COVID-19 pandemic. (The whomap R package used for map layers can be found at https://github.com/glaziou/whomap).
