Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)
Module-by-module breakdown of Surveillance and Data Analytics of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in Public Health, from foundations to a certified capstone project.
Systems
• GLASS and national surveillance architectures
• Sentinel versus comprehensive surveillance and the bias each carries
• Laboratory capacity as the binding constraint on data quality
Data
• MIC and disc diffusion data, breakpoints and CLSI/EUCAST differences
• Breakpoint revisions that break time-series comparability
• Deduplication of isolates and the inflation caused by repeat sampling
Analysis
• Resistance proportion versus incidence, and why the denominator decides the story
• Trend analysis, seasonality and cluster detection
• WHONET and standard analytical workflows
Drivers
• Antimicrobial consumption metrics: DDD and DOT
• Linking consumption to resistance without overclaiming causality
• Agricultural and environmental reservoirs in a One Health frame
Action
• Producing an antibiogram clinicians will actually use
• Informing stewardship interventions and empirical therapy guidance
• Communicating uncertainty to policymakers without losing the message
