No full textviii, 17 p.The Proof-of-principle routine diagnostic project, conducted in Uzbekistan from 2019 to 2022, focused on enhancing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance by improving microbiological diagnostics for bloodstream infections. Implemented across four health-care facilities and the National AMR Center, the project aimed to establish standardized BC sampling, strengthen antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST), and strengthen collaboration between clinical and laboratory teams. The study enrolled 2063 participants, identifying 299 positive cultures with significant pathogens such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Resistance rates were high, with notable multidrug resistance in K. pneumoniae and methicillin resistance in S. aureus. The initiative successfully improved clinical workflows, trained health-care professionals, and contributed to the accreditation of the National AMR Center. Challenges included delays in AST turnaround times, procurement issues and adherence to sampling protocols. Recommended actions emphasize the need for expanding microbiological capacity, improving diagnostic timeliness, and sustaining national AMR surveillance to guide effective treatment policies and antimicrobial stewardship

Mainstreaming antimicrobial resistance interventions into primary health care in Sweden: mission report
No full textviii, 22 p.Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a major threat to global health. WHO worked with Sweden and three other countries (Indonesia, Kazakhstan and Thailand) to identify best practices, gaps and further opportunities for integrating AMR interventions into primary health care in Sweden. Factors that contribute to low levels of AMR and relatively low antimicrobial use (AMU) in Sweden include an enabling policy and governance environment, high levels of community awareness about AMR, comprehensive collection and monitoring of AMU data, and active antimicrobial stewardship programmes. The Government of Sweden is also working on initiatives to strengthen access to essential antibiotics. Key recommendations arising from a WHO and Folkhälsomyndigheten [Public Health Agency of Sweden] national workshop in September 2024 to further support AMR-related interventions in primary care in Sweden are to ensure continued allocation of resources to the integration of antimicrobial stewardship and infection prevention and control work; and to expand existing community engagement initiatives to other population groups that would benefit
