Surveillance metrics and core elements for One Health AMR and AMC/antimicrobial residues surveillance data reporting.

Core elements Metrics
Human sector AMC Sampling type
Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical (ATC) code
Sales or prescriptions
Metrics
Route of administration
Setting (healthcare vs community)
Minimum: defined daily doses (DDD) per 1000 inhabitants per day (community setting) and DDD per 1000 patient days (hospital setting).
Additional: duration of therapy (DOT), DDDs per package (PID).
AMR Surveillance population/setting/sub-setting
Surveillance type: mandatory vs. voluntary
Bacteria-drug combination
Status i.e. infection vs colonization
Specimen
Demographics
Domestic vs travel-related cases
Infection type
Place of acquisition - community vs healthcare vs hospital
Denominator data
Susceptibility testing methods
Quantitative (zone diameter or MIC) and qualitative (S, I, R) susceptibility test results
Additional and relevant test results
Resistance interpretation guidelines
Resistance genes
Minimum: Percentage of resistance with the denominator of total isolates tested (should be de-duplicated, so that one isolate represents one patient). When available supplemented with:
  • o

    Proportion of AMR phenotypic profiles of interest for each sector (e.g. ESBL/AmpC)

  • o

    Proportion of AMR genes of interest for each sector (e.g. CTX-M)

  • o

    Proportion of clinically and epidemiologically (e.g., non-wild type) 'resistant' isolates to allow for more detailed assessments over time/different locations

Additional: Population-based incidence/prevalence rates
Animal sector AMC Target animals (stratification by animal species)
Sampling type
Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical in animal medicine (ATCvet) code
Sales or prescriptions
Metrics
Route of administration
Minimum: mg per kg of estimated biomass, and defined daily dose for animals (DDDvet) per kg of biomass.
AMR Target animals
Setting/sub-setting
Surveillance type: mandatory vs. voluntary
Bacteria-drug combination
Sampling type (diseased and infection type, vs healthy) and domestic vs imported
Specimen
Denominator data
Susceptibility testing methods
Quantitative (zone diameter or MIC) and qualitative (S, I, R) susceptibility test results
Additional and relevant test results
Resistance interpretation guidelines
Resistance genes
Minimum: Percentage of resistance with the denominator of total isolates tested. When available supplemented with:
  • o

    Proportion of AMR phenotypic profiles of interest for each sector (e.g. ESBL/AmpC)

  • o

    Proportion of AMR genes of interest for each sector (e.g. CTX-M)

  • o

    Proportion of clinically and epidemiologically (e.g., non-wild type) 'resistant' isolates to allow for more detailed assessments over time/different locations

Environmental sector Antimicrobial residues/concentrations Residues or micropollutant measurements
Sampling type
Metrics
Minimum: Mass per mass for solids (e.g. μg/kg) or mass per volume for liquids (e.g. μg/L).
AMR Setting
Specimen
Bacteria-drug combination
Denominator data
Susceptibility, susceptibility testing methods
Quantitative and qualitative (S, I, R) susceptibility test results
Resistance interpretation guidelines
Resistance genes
Minimum: Percentage of resistance with the denominator of total isolates tested. When available supplemented with:
  • o

    Proportion of AMR phenotypic profiles of interest for each sector (e.g. ESBL/AmpC)

  • o

    Proportion of AMR genes of interest for each sector (e.g. CTX-M)

  • o

    Proportion of clinically and epidemiologically (e.g., non-wild type) 'resistant' isolates to allow for more detailed assessments over time/different locations

Additional: AMR gene abundance
