Abstract

Antimicrobials are an integral component of healthcare delivery. When resistance to an antimicrobial emerges, it has a significant impact on an individual’s treatment and the community more broadly. In Australia, to monitor antimicrobial resistance in human health, the Australian Group on Antimicrobial Resistance (AGAR) performs three ongoing blood-based antimicrobial surveillance programs: the Australian Staphylococcus aureus Surveillance Outcome Program (ASSOP); the Australian Enterococcal Surveillance Outcome Program (AESOP); and the Gram-negative Surveillance Outcome Program (GnSOP). All data are available on the AGAR website and are included in the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care’s Antimicrobial Use and Resistance in Australia Surveillance System.
