| What accelerates the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR)? | the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials and poor infection prevention and control practices in healthcare facilities and in the community. | Though AMR occurs due to natural genetic changes in the micro-organisms, however its emergence and spread is mainly accelerated by the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials and poor infection prevention and control practices in healthcare facilities and in the community. To overcome this challenge, the process of development of novel drugs and therapeutics is ongoing but fails to match the pace with which microbes are developing resistance to existing antimicrobials. This makes treatment of common infections difficult, prolonging hospital stays and increasing financial implications for patients and healthcare settings. The Government of India launched “National Programme on Antimicrobial Resistance Containment" to combat AMR in human health sector, which is coordinated by the National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC), New Delhi. | 131 | relationship | 0.970 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr23.pdf | Though AMR occurs due to natural genetic changes in the micro-organisms, however its emergence and spread is mainly accelerated by the overuse and misuse of antimicrobials and poor infection prevention and control practices in healthcare facilities and in the community.

| What is essential to reverse the impact of antimicrobial resistance? | The collective commitment of all relevant stakeholders | The impact of this surveillance is significant, as it supports informed decision-making in healthcare, ultimately reducing the burden of resistant infections. Effective AMR Surveillance coupled with the rational use of antimicrobials, enhanced infection control, public awareness, and investment in research, will play a significant role in containing AMR and protecting future generations from the threat of untreatable infectious diseases. The collective commitment of all relevant stakeholders is essential to reverse the impact of antimicrobial resistance. The dynamic nature of AMR necessitates continuous surveillance and data monitoring and requires a comprehensive and a well-coordinated multi-sectoral approach for early containment. | 442 | relationship | 0.970 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr23.pdf | Effective AMR Surveillance coupled with the rational use of antimicrobials, enhanced infection control, public awareness, and investment in research, will play a significant role in containing AMR and protecting future generations from the threat of untreatable infectious diseases.

| What resistance profile is comparable to the last bulletin according to the current report? | The resistance profile of E. coli and Klebsiella species isolates from blood | The percentage of VRE strains isolated from blood specimen remains almost same in this data reporting period (20%) as compared to that of the previous semi-annual bulletin with data from Jan – June 2024 (21%). The resistance profile of E. coli and Klebsiella species isolates from blood reported in this bulletin is comparable to the last one. Blood isolates of Salmonella Typhi and S. Paratyphi showed no resistance to cefixime and very less resistance to Azithromycin (0.3% in S. Typhi, no resistance in S. Paratyphi) comparable to the last bulletin. High resistance to carbapenem among Acinetobacter species is of concern. Resistance to Carbapenems amongst Pseudomonas species isolates reported in this bulletin is almost similar to the previous bulletin, 29% and 26% respectively in blood isolates (Meropenem). | 210 | relationship | 0.970 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr23.pdf | The percentage of VRE strains isolated from blood specimen remains almost same in this data reporting period (20%) as compared to that of the previous semi-annual bulletin with data from Jan – June 2024 (21%).

| What role does AMR surveillance data play in healthcare strategies? | plays a pivotal role in understanding the scope and progression of resistance patterns, guiding timely interventions, and shaping national and local health strategies | National Programme on AMR Containment National Centre for Disease Control Directorate General of Health Services 22 Sham Nath Marg Delhi -110054 Almost double isolates of Vibrio cholerae (157) are reported in this bulletin in comparison to the last one(83), probably because of seasonal variation. their susceptibility profiles are similar with maximum isolates showing resistance to cotrimoxazole, 74% and 70% respectively. In conclusion, AMR surveillance data plays a pivotal role in understanding the scope and progression of resistance patterns, guiding timely interventions, and shaping national and local health strategies. This data helps identify high-risk areas, track trends, and inform policies, allowing for a more targeted and effective response to AMR. | 462 | summary | 0.970 | https://ncdc.mohfw.gov.in/uploads/pdf/amr23.pdf | In conclusion, AMR surveillance data plays a pivotal role in understanding the scope and progression of resistance patterns, guiding timely interventions, and shaping national and local health strategies. |
