WHO Europe office launches AMR dashboard

Published on November 23, 2022

The AMR dashboard is an interactive tool, created by the WHO European Office, that allows users to explore bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data from the WHO European Region. The dashboard shows combined AMR rates and trends from the EARS-Net network, for data pertaining to EU/EEA Member States, and the CAESAR network, for the remaining countries/areas within the WHO European Region. Data on patients' characteristics are available only for the CAESAR network.

Every year, countries and areas report routine antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) results collected as part of routine laboratory-based national surveillance to the regional networks EARS-Net and CAESAR, as applicable. The results are jointly published in the AMR Surveillance in Europe Report. Additional data for EU/EEA countries can also be found on the ECDC Surveillance Atlas of Infectious Diseases.
