Last updated on Thursday, 1 May 2025 at 02:45pm

Entry category: Change to metric
Entry description:

Data showing antimicrobial resistance in E. coli bacteraemia has been expanded. It is now possible to see resistance to several further antimicrobials.

The time series of the data has also been extended and now goes back 5 years, to 2020.

Data is available for E.coli bacteraemia tested for resistance to the following:

  • amikacin
  • carbapenems
  • third-generation cephalosporins

Timely monitoring of susceptibility test results for Escherichia coli (E. coli) supports the government’s 5-year action plan on confronting antimicrobial resistance.
