AI Article Synopsis

  • The J-SIPHE system was utilized to analyze the relationship between antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) at a university hospital from 2013 to 2021.
  • Data showed positive correlations between specific antibiotics and resistance rates, revealing that increased use of piperacillin/tazobactam, carbapenems, and quinolones corresponded with higher resistance levels.
  • This research emphasizes the value of the J-SIPHE system for enhancing AMR monitoring and prevention strategies within hospital settings.

Article Abstract

Objectives: The Japan Surveillance for Infection Prevention and Healthcare Epidemiology (J-SIPHE) system aggregates information related to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) measures. We aimed to investigate the correlation between antibiotic use and AMR at a university hospital from 2013 to 2021 in a time series analysis using the J-SIPHE system. We also studied this correlation in each ward (inter-ward analysis).

Methods: Data on antibiotic use and resistance rates were collected from the J-SIPHE system, except for the resistance rate in each ward, which was calculated from the source data prepared for this system.

Results: Piperacillin/tazobactam use was positively correlated with piperacillin/tazobactam resistance in and in the inter-ward analysis, and in in both analyses. Carbapenem use was positively correlated with meropenem resistance in in the time series analysis and in in both analyses, and imipenem/cilastatin resistance in in inter-ward analysis. Quinolone use was positively correlated with levofloxacin resistance in in both analyses, and in in inter-ward analysis.

Conclusions: This is the first study to investigate the correlation between antibiotic use and AMR at a single hospital in time series and inter-ward analyses using the J-SIPHE system and data prepared for this system, suggesting that this system may be useful for promoting AMR measures.

Background: Evaluating the selective pressure of antimicrobials on bacteria is important for promoting antimicrobial stewardship programs (ASPs). The aim of this study was to assess the selective pressure of antimicrobials by evaluating their use (carbapenem [CBP] and CBP-sparing therapy) over time and the detection status of CBP-resistant organisms using multicenter data.

Methods: Among the facilities whose data were registered in the Japan Surveillance for Infection Prevention and Healthcare Epidemiology from 2017 to 2020, those that had data on the use of CBP and CBP-sparing therapy (fluoroquinolones [FQs], cefmetazole [CMZ], piperacillin-tazobactam [PIP/TAZ], ampicillin-sulbactam [ABPC/SBT], ceftriaxone/cefotaxime [CTRX/CTX], CAZ (ceftazidime), cefepime [CFPM], and aminoglycosides [AGs]) as well as on CBP-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and CBP-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CRPA) detection were included.

Background: The cumulative antibiogram is essential to guide empirical therapy for infectious diseases and monitor the trend of antimicrobial resistance. However, the status of antibiogram generation at medical institutions in Japan is uncertain.

Methods: A web-based questionnaire survey was conducted in February 2023 on the status of antibiogram preparation among facilities participating in the Japan Surveillance for Infection Prevention and Healthcare Epidemiology (J-SIPHE), an infection control surveillance system in Japan.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the incidence of microbial infections and other metrics related to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has not yet been fully described. Using data from Japan Surveillance for Infection Prevention and Healthcare Epidemiology (J-SIPHE), a national surveillance database system that routinely collects clinical and epidemiological data on microbial infections, infection control practices, antimicrobial use, and AMR emergence from participating institutions in Japan, we assessed the temporal changes in AMR-related metrics before and after the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. We found that an apparent decrease in the incidence of microbial infections in 2020 compared with 2019 may have been driven primarily by a reduction in bed occupancy, although the incidence showed a constant or even slightly increasing trend after adjusting for bed occupancy.

Background: The Japan Surveillance for Infection Prevention and Healthcare Epidemiology (J-SIPHE) system aggregates information related to antimicrobial resistance (AMR) measures in participating medical institutions nationwide and is intended to be used for promotion of AMR measures in participating facilities and their communities. This multicenter study aimed to determine the usefulness of the J-SIPHE system for evaluating the correlation between antibiotic use and antibiotic resistance in Hokkaido, Japan.

Methods: Data on antibiotic use and detection rate of major resistant Gram-negative bacteria at 19 hospitals in 2020 were collected from the J-SIPHE system, and data correlations were analyzed using JMP Pro.
