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 Apr 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 July 2020 to 01 April 2025. It rose from 256.33 on 01 July 2020 to 372.0 on 01 April 2021. It rose from 321.33 on 01 May 2021 to 323.33 on 01 February 2022. It rose from 315.33 on 01 March 2022 to 349.0 on 01 December 2022. It fell from 352.33 on 01 January 2023 to 325.33 on 01 October 2023. It rose from 322.33 on 01 November 2023 to 336.0 on 01 July 2024. And finally. It rose from 328.33 on 01 August 2024 to 336.0 on 01 April 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.
