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 Jun 2026

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 June 2021 to 01 June 2026. It rose from 289.33 on 01 June 2021 to 301.67 on 01 April 2022. It rose from 318.67 on 01 May 2022 to 346.67 on 01 February 2023. It fell from 349.33 on 01 March 2023 to 319.0 on 01 December 2023. It fell from 322.67 on 01 January 2024 to 303.33 on 01 October 2024. It fell from 308.0 on 01 November 2024 to 305.33 on 01 August 2025. And finally. It rose from 318.33 on 01 September 2025 to 339.33 on 01 June 2026. 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.
