Glycopeptides

Testing

Rolling monthly average number of E. faecium bacteraemia tested for resistance to glycopeptides. Monthly figures are shown as the first day of each month. For example, the figures for January 2022 are shown as at "1 Jan 2022".

Up to and including month of 1 Dec 2025

ChartThere is only 1 plot on this chart. The horizontal X-axis is labelled 'date'. Whilst the vertical Y-axis is labelled 'metric'. This is a dark blue solid bar plot. This plot shows data for E-faecium. Specifically the metric 'e-faecium_testing_bacteraemiaNumberTestedRollingMonth' for the England area, along with the age banding of 'all' for the gender group of all. This plot shows data from 01 December 2020 to 01 December 2025. It fell from 293.33 on 01 December 2020 to 278.67 on 01 October 2021. It rose from 282.33 on 01 November 2021 to 306.33 on 01 August 2022. It rose from 304.67 on 01 September 2022 to 324.0 on 01 June 2023. It rose from 316.67 on 01 July 2023 to 337.33 on 01 April 2024. It rose from 345.0 on 01 May 2024 to 364.0 on 01 February 2025. And finally. It fell from 362.67 on 01 March 2025 to 319.0 on 01 December 2025. There is no reporting delay period being tracked for the data on this chart. - Refer to tabular data.

Note 1: The chart shows a three-month rolling average, so the data shown for one month is the average across that month and the previous two months. Note 2: Interpreting national antibiotic resistance surveillance trends spanning European Committee on Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing (EUCAST) clinical breakpoint transition periods requires additional consideration to avoid misinterpretation of data.
