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).
ECDC is following reports from several European Union and European Economic Area (EU/EEA) countries of substantial increases in the detection of parvovirus B19 (B19V).
ECDC, DG SANTE and EFSA, supported by a consortium composed of Epiconcept and Integrated Quality Laboratory Services (IQLS), jointly carried out a country visit to Kosovo* from 9 to 13 October 2023, which is part of ECDC’s accession support activities to contribute to the advancement of a One Health approach against antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the Western Balkans.
The 2022–2023 ECDC PPS was the third EU-wide point prevalence survey of healthcare-associated infections and antimicrobial use in acute care hospitals.
This protocol describes a survey undertaken to acquire a snapshot of the distribution of Clostridioides difficile strains in tertiary acute care hospitals in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) in 2022–2023
This reporting protocol is for the 2024 data call for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance data, collected by the European Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance Network (EARS-Net) for 2023.
This is a summary of the fourth joint inter-agency report on integrated analysis of antimicrobial consumption and occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria from humans and food-producing animals in the European Union (JIACRA IV – 2019–2021).
This report provides an integrated analysis of relationships between antimicrobial consumption in humans and food- producing animals and the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria from humans and food- producing animals, respectively.
This document assesses the risk associated with the dissemination of carbapenemase-producing hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (hvKp) of sequence type (ST) 23 and other STs in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA).
