Background: In 2015, the UK government established the Fleming Fund with the aim to address critical gaps in surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in low- and middle-income countries in Asia and Africa. Among a large portfolio of grants, the Capturing Data on Antimicrobial Resistance Patterns and Trends in Use in Regions of Asia (CAPTURA) project was awarded with the specific objective of expanding the volume of historical data on AMR, consumption (AMC), and use (AMU) in the human healthcare sector across 12 countries in South and Southeast Asia.

Methods: Starting in early 2019, the CAPTURA consortium began working with local governments and >100 relevant data-holding facilities across the region to identify, assess for quality, prioritize, and subsequently retrieve data on AMR, AMC, and AMU.

Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Alina G Shaw"

  • - Alina G Shaw's recent research primarily focuses on addressing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance in low- and middle-income countries, specifically through the CAPTURA project aimed at enhancing data collection and understanding of AMR patterns in Asia.
  • - The CAPTURA project, initiated in partnership with local governments and over 100 data-holding facilities starting in 2019, seeks to expand historical data on antimicrobial consumption (AMC) and usage (AMU) across 12 countries in South and Southeast Asia.
  • - The findings from this ongoing research are expected to contribute significantly to global efforts in monitoring and combating AMR, which represents a pressing public health challenge in these regions.
