Article Synopsis
- Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance is crucial for infection control and antimicrobial stewardship, but challenges remain in timely and thorough monitoring.
- Using BioFire data from a cloud-based surveillance network, researchers analyzed AMR detection rates among a US cohort from 2019 to 2021, focusing on differences by region, specimen type, and organism.
- Results showed a higher AMR detection rate in the South, with respiratory specimens showing more resistance than blood; notable resistance rates included 34.9% for methicillin-resistant strains and 15.9% for vancomycin-resistant strains among Gram-positive organisms.
