Implementation of AMR case definitions for TESSy
Given the typology of data for AMR surveillance, which refers to laboratory isolates rather than to cases
of cease, te flowing case deriton hasbeen implemented Inthe Recor ype NQUNTECTE fay
reporting to TESSy:
‘The bacterial species under surveillance are:
‘+ Streptococcus pneumoniae (STRPNE)
+ Staphylococcus aureus (STARUR)
+ Enterococcus faecalis (ENCFAE)
«Enterococcus faecium (ENCFAI)
«Escherichia col (ESCCOL)
«Klebsiella pneumoniae (KLEPNE)
+ Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PSEAER)
+ Acinetobacter species (ACISPP).
‘Allisolates from blood and/or cerebrospinal fluid for which a susceptibility test has been performed,
have to be included.
“The generic case definition of antibiotic resistance defined in the Commission implementing decision
laying down cace defritions for reporting communicable ciseases to the Community network: EARS-
Net requires the use of EUCAST dinical breakpoints inline with the EU case definitions; starting from
2020 (2019 data), countries and laboratories using other guidelines are not eligible to participate in
EARS-Net surveillance, Reporting of quantitative susceptibility data is strongly encouraged.
Duplicates from the same patients should be eliminated taking only the first by date of sample
collection and isolate source. Table 8 lists all microorganism and antibiotic agent combinations under
surveillance by EARS-Net. When, according to the EUCAST guidelines, a specific type of test is to be
used, the method is indicated next to the antimicrobial.
If records referring to additional combinations are uploaded, they will be filtered out by the system -
