Hello,
my name is David Livermore,
I'm Professor
of Medical Microbiology
for the University
of East Anglia in Norwich.
I'm also Public Health
England's lead
on Antibiotic Resistance.
And for 14 years,
I headed Public Health
England's National
Reference Laboratory
examining antibiotic
resistant bacteria
in the United Kingdom.
What I want to do
in this two-part presentation
is to look at
national and international surveillance
of antibiotic resistance.
0:38
In this first part,
I want to look
at how data can be collected
for surveillance of resistance.
Why we seek to do surveillance,
and some of the pitfalls
and challenges with the data.
In the second part,
we'll look more
at some of the data
that have been collected
and their interpretation,
and how that can be used
to assess
the success or failure
of interventions.
