European Strategic action plan on antibiotic resistance
1. Strengthen intersectoral coordination
2. Strengthen surveillance of antibiotic resistance
3. Promote rational use and strengthen surveillance of antibiotic consumption
4. Strengthen infection prevention and control and surveillance in health care settings
5. Prevent emerging resistance in veterinary and food
sectors
6. Promote innovation and research on new drugs
7. Improve awareness, patient safety, and partnership
AMR Surveillance
Needed to:
Detect resistant strains of public health importance
Support prompt notification and investigation of outbreaks
Inform clinical treatment decisions
Guide policy recommendations
Monitor efficacy of interventions (incl. infection control measures)
CAESAR objectiveCentral Asian and Eastern European Surveillance on Antimicrobial Resistance
Maintain a comprehensive surveillance system that links national networks and provide comparable and
validated data on the prevalence and trends of antimicrobial resistance in
a core group of invasive bacteria.
CAESARCentral Asian and Eastern European Surveillance on Antimicrobial Resistance
Network of national surveillance systems for antibiotic resistance in all countries of
the WHO European Region that are not part of EARS-Net of ECDC.
Organisms under surveillance are S. pneumoniae, S. aureus, E. faecalis, E.
faecium, E. coli, K. pneumoniae, P. aeruginosa, Acinetobacter species,
representing pathogens of public health importance.
CAESAR methodology is fully compatible with EARS-Net (ECDC).

External Quality Assessment
To assess the accuracy of susceptibility test results reported by participating laboratories
CAESAR laboratories are invited to participate in the EARS-Net/CAESAR EQA

EQA 2014: 13 countries (185 laboratories)
CAESAR annual report 2014
Include as many countries as possible.
Data submission before July 31, 2014
Feedback report from Jos Monen (with additional questions; specific strains, numbers etc)

Conclusions
• There is an irrational use of antimicrobial medicines in thehealth care settings of the Republic of Moldova that providesfavorable conditions for AMR to persist;
• Infection prevention and control in hospitals; surveillance onAMR and antimicrobial consumption in human medicines;awareness on the appropriate use of antimicrobials have tobe improved to combat AMR in Moldova;
The National Surveillance System collect data for AMR based national protocol not adapted to the WHO and EU requirement;
The quality of the data need improvement and validation by external EQAP.
Perspectives • Integration of the national Surveillance system (public health
laboratory network, private laboratory) in one system;
• Integration of the national Surveillance system into regionaland global Surveillance networks (WHO, ECDC);
• Strengthening of the national lab capacity (implementation ofnew laboratory equipment and technology) with reviewingthe standard and protocols for laboratory diagnosis andsurveillance system;
• Training of the personnel (lab, epi, physician) in accordingwith international requirement;
• Extending participation in the international EQAP;
• Extending collaboration in the research programs.
