Guidelines

This page contains documents and links to the protocols, guidelines, and recommendations on AMR surveillance of CCRE, CRAb and CRPa.

Protocols and guidelines

• EURGen-RefLabCap harmonised common WGS-based genome analysis methods and standard protocols for national CCRE surveillance and integrated outbreak investigations

• EURGen-RefLabCap agreed common WGS-based genome analysis methods and standard protocols for national surveillance and integrated outbreak investigations of carbapenem- and/or colistin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumannii

• EURGen-RefLabCap Guidance document on internal quality control schemes for clinical and reference laboratory antimicrobial susceptibility testing and molecular detection of antimicrobial resistance in CCRE

• Guidance document on internal quality control schemes for clinical and reference laboratory antimicrobial susceptibility testing and molecular detection of antimicrobial resistance for carbapenem- and/or colistin-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (C/CRPa) and Acinetobacter baumannii complex (C/CRAb)

• European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) information on clinical breakpoints, guidance documents, etc.

• European Union Action on Antimicrobial Resistance

• International Organization for Standardization (ISO)

• WHO Global Action Plan on antimicrobial resistance

Recommendations
