Surveillance in Human Health
EU-JAMRAI 2 works to strengthen the national systems for microbiological surveillance of AMR in the human sector.
Our vision is: “A Europe where every country has the capacity to perform, contribute to and benefit from high-quality, harmonised antibiotic resistance surveillance, regardless of size or resources.”
The key actions are to:
Perform an inventory of the national surveillance systems available in the participating countries and visualise the results in a dashboard.
Investigate legal and information security aspects of data collection, storage, and sharing as they pertain to AMR surveillance.
Build a roadmap for national AMR surveillance.
Build upon capacity strengthening projects for improved AMR surveillance across Europe.
JAMREYE – The AMR surveillance dashboard
This dashboard presents information on current national microbiological AMR surveillance in the 30 partner countries of the EU-JAMRAI 2 consortium.
It is designed as a resource for both national and international AMR experts and policymakers who seek to better understand how AMR surveillance is conducted across Europe.
Inventory of national AMR surveillance systems
A major achievement was the creation and launch of the inventory of national systems for microbiological surveillance of AMR in human health. A questionnaire was developed during Fall 2024 together with partners and key stakeholders. The questions for the inventory were divided into three parts:
- National recommendations in place affecting AMR surveillance.
- WGS at the national reference laboratory for AMR.
- Structure and content of national AMR surveillance.
The inventory includes six different culture materials and focuses on bacterial pathogens that cause healthcare associated infections and outbreaks.
