The re-emergence of infectious diseases as a threat to the health of the public has led to the initiation of several surveillance programmes in the European community. The impact of these Europe-wide surveillance programmes, including the surveillance of antibiotic resistance, will depend on the ability of the epidemiologists involved to gather validated data that accurately reflect the trends in the occurrence of infectious diseases and of antibiotic resistances. The results of surveillance should be communicated not only between the national institutes but should also reach the medical communities and the public at large in the participating countries.
传染病再度成为威胁公众健康的因素，这促使欧洲共同体启动了若干监测项目。这些全欧洲范围的监测项目，包括对抗生素耐药性的监测，其影响将取决于相关流行病学家收集有效数据的能力，这些数据要能准确反映传染病发生情况和抗生素耐药性的趋势。监测结果不仅应在各国家机构之间进行交流，还应传达给参与国的医学界和广大公众。
