Transitioning to people-centred antimicrobial resistance surveillance – ICARS

Transitioning to people-centred antimicrobial resistance surveillance

This personal view, published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, argues that blood cultures must be recognised and supported primarily as core patient-centred diagnostic tools, not merely as sources of aggregated data for AMR reporting. The article highlights that facilities that use their own blood culture data to guide clinical decision making are more likely to have improved patient outcomes, stronger antimicrobial stewardship, and more meaningful, sustainable AMR surveillance.
