The objective was to gather information on the status of antimicrobial surveillance in the Asia Pacific region and suggest control strategies. Twenty-one economies of the Asia Pacific region participated in this initiative. A survey was conducted on antimicrobial use and surveillance throughout the region. A workshop was carried out to create awareness about the issue and discuss the implementation of control strategies. Based on the survey results and workshop conclusions, it can be established that there is better understanding of the implications of antimicrobial resistance in the human medicine area. Only few economies take actions to control antimicrobial resistance on a veterinary/agricultural level. To confront antimicrobial resistance, it is critical to raise awareness; cooperation between all countries is needed to apply international standards, to be able to have harmonized public policies. Countries must align and improve their systems for surveillance and monitoring of antimicrobial resistance in human, animals, and the environment.
目标是收集亚太地区抗菌药物监测状况的信息并提出控制策略。亚太地区的21个经济体参与了这一倡议。对整个地区的抗菌药物使用和监测情况进行了一项调查。举办了一次研讨会，以提高对该问题的认识并讨论控制策略的实施。根据调查结果和研讨会结论，可以确定人们对人类医学领域抗菌药物耐药性的影响有了更好的理解。只有少数经济体在兽医/农业层面采取行动控制抗菌药物耐药性。为应对抗菌药物耐药性，提高认识至关重要；所有国家需要开展合作以应用国际标准，从而能够制定统一的公共政策。各国必须调整并改进其对人类、动物和环境中抗菌药物耐药性的监测系统。
