About ESAC-Net
ESAC-Net (formerly ESAC) is a Europe-wide network of national surveillance systems, providing European reference data on antimicrobial consumption. ESAC-Net collects and analyses data on antimicrobial consumption from EU and EEA countries, both in the community and in the hospital sector.
The collected data are used to provide timely information and feedback to EU and EEA countries on indicators of antimicrobial consumption. These indicators provide a basis for monitoring the progress of EU and EEA countries towards prudent use of antimicrobials.
The coordination of ESAC-Net was transferred from the University of Antwerp, Belgium to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in July 2011.
