- : Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and use (AMU) in the human and animal sectors together with the resistance patterns found in food are major public health concerns. Surveillance and monitoring systems are essential to control and assess the trends. Relevant data sources such as peer-reviewed articles, databases, national and European grey reports among others were identified by a thorough review in order to identify public information about monitoring and surveillance systems and their databases on AMU and AMR in humans, animals and food. Several overlapping between systems on AMR and AMU have been found in the human, livestock and food sectors. In addition, disparities between countries and sectors in the AMU section has been encountered in relation to data sources and units. Moreover, diverse sample types, units, standards, evaluation criteria and laboratory methods have been detected in the AMR section. The lack of standardization among the human, animal and food sectors and across countries may contribute to hamper the One Health worldwide strategy. Current overlapping between monitoring and surveillance systems may provide room for streamlining and harmonization.
