Comparing laboratory-based and population-based antimicrobial resistance surveillance in urinary tract infections in Indonesia

The project assessed the difference in point prevalence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) when using routine laboratory-based surveillance and active population-based surveillance (survey). The data are restricted to the prevalence of AMR in isolates of Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae cultured from urine samples from all patients presenting with signs and/or symptoms of a urinary tract infection in either the outpatient or the inpatient setting.

Laboratory-based surveillance used Vitek methodology to assess resistance, while the population-based surveillance used the conventional culture methods using MacConkey agar plates incubated for 18 hours. Resistance was defined by applying CLSI breakpoints (2012).. The data from both sources covered exactly the same period (1 April 2014 - 31 May 2015) in which there were no reports of outbreaks in the hospital setting.
Data structureThe file is in a .csv format outputted through STATA version 16.0. The dataset is organised in the long format with the combination of the variables ID(), micro-organism(), and antibiotic() identifying a unique record.
