Implementing an antibiogram profile in an urban hospital in The Gambia

Cumulative antibiogram data is necessary in supporting hospital-based empirical antimicrobial treatment for rationale prescribing. This study is the first known local antibiogram coordinated by multiple stakeholders across various disciplines and a great example of North-South collaboration that has harness technical support to improve techniques required to combat AMR and improve IPC in a Low and Middle-Income Country (LMIC). Three years of data from all samples sent to the Clinical Microbiology Laboratory in the Medical Research Council Unit were reviewed to aid in empiric antibiotic therapy and improve patient care

累积抗菌谱数据对于支持基于医院的实证抗菌治疗和合理用药至关重要。本研究是首次由多个学科利益相关者共同协调的地方抗菌谱研究，堪称南北合作的典范，该合作充分利用了技术支持，以提高对抗抗微生物药物耐药性（AMR）所需的技能，并改善低收入和中等收入国家（LMIC）的感染预防与控制（IPC）。对医学研究理事会单位临床微生物实验室接收的所有样本的三年数据进行了审查，以协助经验性抗生素治疗并提升患者护理水平。
