The surveillance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae antimicrobial susceptibility in the EU/EEA is essential for detecting emerging and increasing antimicrobial resistance. Since 2009, this surveillance has been co-ordinated by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has published a report today highlighting the threat of increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
ECDC, WHO and the German Federal Centre for Health Education (BZgA) have jointly developed public health advice for UEFA EURO 2024 to promote the safety and well-being of spectators attending matches.
Recent ECDC data show that despite progress in prevention and control efforts, the hepatitis B and hepatitis C viruses (HBV and HCV) continue to pose significant public health challenges in the European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA).
