ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The cumulative antibiogram is essential to guide empirical therapy for infectious diseases and monitor the trend of antimicrobial resistance. However, the status of antibiogram generation at medical institutions in Japan is uncertain.METHODS:
A web-based questionnaire survey was conducted in February 2023 on the status of antibiogram preparation among facilities participating in the Japan Surveillance for Infection Prevention and Healthcare Epidemiology (J-SIPHE), an infection control surveillance system in Japan.RESULTS:
The questionnaire collection rate was 19.6% (379/1931). Of all facilities, 47% (178/379) performed microbiological tests mainly in-house, while 53% (201/379) performed microbiological tests mainly outsourced. Of all facilities, 78% (296/379) prepared antibiograms. Of those without antibiograms, 33% (27/83) were considering the development in the future. Some facilities cited staff shortage as a barrier to preparing antibiograms. Of the 214 facilities with antibiograms that could use the J-SIPHE system to prepare antibiograms, 19% (41/214) were using the J-SIPHE system to prepare their antibiograms.CONCLUSIONS:
One-quarter of the facilities that responded to the survey had not prepared antibiograms. Technical support for surveillance and awareness activity for using cumulative antibiograms might promote antibiogram preparation in Japan, which may improve antimicrobial stewardship and antimicrobial resistance measures.Mots clés
