This book was released on 2021-05-17 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Enhanced Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme (EGASP) aims to strengthen sentinel surveillance for gonococcal antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in selected countries. EGASP monitors trends in antimicrobial susceptibility in Neisseria gonorrhoeae by using standardized sampling and laboratory protocols linked to epidemiological data in participating countries. EGASP contributes to the WHO global action plan on antimicrobial resistance, 2015. EGASP is a special project under the Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (GLASS). EGASP is a collaborative effort between the WHO, the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and WHO collaborating centres on STIs. The protocol document describes the objectives and the methods of EGASP surveillance and guidance on how to implement and monitor EGASP. This publication targets the national sexually transmitted infection and antimicrobial resistance programmes and other institutions to strengthen gonorrhoea AMR surveillance system. This surveillance protocol allows collaborators to improve the quality, comparability and timeliness of gonococcal antimicrobial resistance data across multiple countries. It also aims to enhance the capacity for early detection of emergence of resistance in N. gonorrhoeae strains to recommended treatment.

Book excerpt: Widespread antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in highly variable strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae continues to cause significant public health concerns and compromise the management and control of gonorrhoea. The Enhanced Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme (EGASP) aims to strengthen sentinel surveillance for gonococcal AMR in selected countries. Data and country experiences from EGASP implementation have shown a need to develop 3 essential supplementary protocols that play pivotal roles in the management of N. gonorrhoeae infections. These protocols are: By mastering these protocols, health workers, researchers and public health officials can contribute to a more effective and informed approach to combat N. gonorrhoeae infections.

Book excerpt: The WHO Enhanced Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme (EGASP) was developed to address many of GASP’s limitations and strengthen sentinel surveillance for gonococcal AMR in selected countries. EGASP is a unique project implemented under the EGASP protocol published in 2021 for participating countries to adapt to their context. It is aligned with the WHO Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS). The current report presents the main results of EGASP surveillance from November 2015 to December 2022.

Download or read book Developing A National Sentinel Surveillance System For Antimicrobial Resistant Neisseria Gonorrhoeae In Ireland written by Derval Igoe and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background:Ireland has participated in the Euro-GASP (European Gonococcal Antimicrobial Surveillance Programme) sentinel surveillance programme since 2010. The central pathology laboratory in St. Jamesu2019s Hospital is the Irish sentinel laboratory for Euro GASP and, in 2017, was designated the National Interim Gonococcal Reference Laboratory. Previously, Irish samples for Euro-GASP were selected consecutively from specimens collected in Dublin, but in 2017 isolates were submitted from laboratories nationwide.Methods:Euro-GASP isolates were tested for susceptibility to clinically relevant antimicrobials using Etests and for penicillinase production using Nitrocefin. Etest results were interpreted using EUCAST breakpoints. Epidemiological data on mode of transmission, HIV status, other STIs and country of birth were collected. Data were analysed using Stata and Excel.Results:775 Irish isolates were reported to Euro-GASP between 2010 and 2017 (capturing 7% of national notifications reported by routine surveillance during that time), 92% males and 8% females. Trends varied due to sampling bias in early years and increased representativeness in 2017. Overall mode of transmission was reported as MSM in 78% and heterosexual in 22%. The age range was 15 u2013 65 years; median 28 years among males and 23 years among females. 10% of patients were HIV positive (all MSM), 21% had a previous gonorrhoea infection and 14% had concurrent chlamydia infections. 45% of patients were born in Ireland and 13% in Latin America. While 99% of isolates remained susceptible to cefixime and ceftriaxone, 36% were resistant to ciprofloxacin, 13% resistant to azithromycin and 9% produced penicillinase. Conclusions:In Ireland surveillance of gonorrhoea antimicrobial resistance has focussed on isolates from one region. The designation of the Interim Gonococcal Reference Laboratory has permitted movement towards a more nationally representative sentinel surveillance system. Continuation of this strengthened surveillance of gonorrhoea antimicrobial resistance increases the validity of Irish data in the context of European and global data.

Book excerpt: The WHO 2022 report from the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) marks the end of the first 5 years of early implementation. The report summarizes 2020 data from 87 countries on antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria that cause disease in humans, analyses the 2021 AMR rates in the context of the testing coverage of national surveillance, and provides data on antimicrobial consumption (AMC) in humans from 27 countries. For the first time, data are presented in an interactive digital format, with more comprehensive content on the WHO website.

This book was released on 2024-07-18 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication has been developed to provide a national framework for monitoring the health sector’s response to sexually transmitted infections and a set of core indicators to: -support countries monitor their programming for sexually transmitted infections and to identify gaps and challenges; and -facilitate regional and global tracking of the progress of WHO Member States in strengthening STI programming towards achieving the targets outlined in the global health sector strategies on, respectively, HIV, viral hepatitis and sexually transmitted infections. The core indicators are structured around currently available STI interventions and data that are routinely collected or can be monitored at least annually. The indicators are aligned with global reporting requirements and to the targets detailed in the global health sector strategies. Collecting and analysing these data will provide a comprehensive picture of the health burden of STIs and will inform how best to allocate resources to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and equity of STI services. The publication also outlines a stepwise approach to strengthen the monitoring of STI programmes and STI surveillance.
