Objective • To provides criteria for the development and harmonisation of antimicrobial
resistance surveillance and monitoring programmes
Purpose: why surveillance and monitoring are necessary?
NEW introduce the notions of active (targeted) and passive surveillance
encourage regional cooperation between members
1. To assess and determine the trends and sources of antimicrobial resistance
in bacteria
2. To detect the emergence of new antimicrobial resistance mechanism
3. To provide data for conducting risk analysis
4. To provide a basis for policy recommendations for animal and human health
5. To provide information for evaluating antimicrobial prescribing practices and for prudent use recommendations
Chapter 6.7: Harmonisation of antimicrobial resistance surveillance and monitoring programmes
General aspects:
• National AMR monitoring and surveillance programmes
should be scientifically based and may include the
following components:
a) statistically based surveys;
b) sampling and testing of food producing animals on the farm,
at live animal market or at slaughter;
c) an organised sentinel programme (targeted sampling of food
producing animals, herds, flocks and vectors;
d) analysis of veterinary practice and diagnostic laboratory
records.
Chapter 6.7: Harmonisation of antimicrobial resistance surveillance and monitoring programmes
Sampling strategy:
• Representativeness of the population, robustness of the method
• Criteria: sample source, animal species and category, health status,
sample selection, type of sample
Sample size:

Chapter 6.7: Harmonisation of antimicrobial resistance surveillance and monitoring programmes
Which bacteria to monitor?
• Animal bacterial pathogens
• Zoonotic bacteria
– Salmonella
– Campylobacter
– Other emerging bacterial pathogens (MRSA, Listeria
monocytogenes…)
• Commensal bacteria
– Escherichia coli and enterococci
Chapter 6.7: Harmonisation of antimicrobial resistance surveillance and monitoring programmes
• Which antimicrobials to be used in susceptibility
testing?
– Reference to the OIE list of antimicrobials of veterinary
importance
• Recommendations on:
– Storage of bacterial strains
– Recording, storage and interpretation of data
– Reference laboratory and annual reports
• Need to designate a National Reference Centre
Examples: France, Europe
• Surveillance of bacterial pathogens (France)

Chapter 6.8: Monitoring of the quantities and usage patterns of antimicrobial agents used in food producing animals
Purpose:
• To describe an approach to the monitoring of
the quantities of antimicrobial agents used in
food producing animals
• In order to evaluate antimicrobial exposure,
need for quantitative information to monitor
usage patterns by animal species,
antimicrobial agents or class, type of use and
route of administration
Chapter 6.8: Monitoring of the quantities and usage patterns of antimicrobial agents used in food producing animals
Objectives:
This information is necessary:
- For interpreting antimicrobial resistance
surveillance data
- For risk management to evaluate the
effectiveness of efforts to ensure responsible
prudent use and mitigation strategies
- For risk communication purposes
Chapter 6.8: Monitoring of the quantities and usage patterns of antimicrobial agents used in food producing animals
• customs, import and export data,
• manufacturing and sales data
• Veterinary medicinal products registration
authorities,
• wholesalers, retailers,
• pharmacists, veterinarians, feed stores,
• feed mills
• Pharmaceutical industry associations
• veterinarians
• food animal producers
• Non conventional (internet sales …)
Basic sources

End-use sources
Data sources: sources of data will vary from country to country
Other sources
Chapter 6.8: Monitoring of the quantities and usage patterns of antimicrobial agents used in food producing animals
Type of antimicrobial use data:

How to interpret results ?
- Antimicrobial sales volumes do not represent precisely their use
Recent antimicrobials are more potent than old ones, and
less active is needed to be administered to treat animals.
-To estimate animal exposure to antimicrobials it is need to take into account other
factors such as the posology (mg/Kg) and the duration of administration. It is also
needed to take into account the change in the total animal population according to
time
Therefore a decrease in sales volume does not mean obligatorily that there
is a decrease in Antimicrobial use
• Crucial to distinguish between:
- Sales volume
- Exposure to antimicrobials
Theoritical example(1)
In this example, the percentage of treated animals
jump from 11% to 20,5 % meaning that globally the
exposure increase from 86.4 %
How do antimicrobial quantities vary?

Theoritical example (2)
Calculation performed according to the following elements:
•Animal weight: 50 Kg
•Posology: Oxytétracycline : 20 mg/Kg during 3 days
•Posology: Fluoroquinolone: 2 mg/Kg for 1 day
•Calculation: Nb animals x 50 Kg x posology x treatment duration
Results:
In this example, the antimicrobial
quantity decrease from 12.5 %

Theoritical example (3)
In this example, an increase in animal exposure of 86.5 %
results in a decrease of antimicrobial quantity of 12.5 %
Need to define an exposure indicator (see later ALEA
(Animal Level of Exposure)). This indicator is directly
correlated to the number of animals treated.
