Addressing Learning Needs on the Use of Metagenomics in Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance [PDF]

Frontiers in Public Health, 2020
One Health surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) depends on a harmonized method for detection of AMR. Metagenomics-based surveillance offers the possibility to compare resistomes within and between different target populations. Its potential to be embedded into policy in the future calls for a timely and integrated knowledge dissemination ...

Strengthening the Surveillance of Antimicrobial Resistance in India Using Integrative Technologies

Frontiers in Public Health, 2022
Background:The antimicrobial resistance (AMR) situation in India is alarming. In the absence of newer antibiotics, the best possible approach is to efficiently use the existing antimicrobials through surveillance of resistance. The data generated by AMR surveillance across the country has immense potential to drive policy decisions.
