This report is based on data for 2018-2020 retrieved on 13 February 2023 from The European Surveillance System (TESSy) and ECDC’s decentralised data storage for antimicrobial resistance and healthcare-associated infections (ARHAI). TESSy is a system for the collection, analysis and dissemination of data on communicable diseases.
This document presents the estimated incidence of bloodstream infections (BSI) with three key antibiotic-resistant bacteria, at country level in EU/EEA countries, using public data sources.
This literature review, covering the period from 2000 to January 2022, assessed the state of knowledge on biocide resistance in wild vector populations across the EU/EEA and neighbouring countries.
In 2016–2017, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) organised the third point prevalence survey (PPS) of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) and antimicrobial use in European long-term care facilities (LTCFs) or HALT-3.
This issue of the ECDC Communicable Disease Threats Report (CDTR) covers the period 7-13 August 2022 and includes updates on West Nile virus infection, COVID-19, monkeypox, measles, Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever, Langya henipavirus, dengue, mass gatherings at the Birmingham 2022 commonwealth games, Vibrio growth, swine influenza and polio.
This issue of the ECDC Communicable Disease Threats Report (CDTR) covers the period 27 March-2 April 2022, and includes updates on COVID-19, the influx of people displaced from Ukraine to the EU following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, seasonal influenza, Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever, and poliomyelitis.
The main aim of this activity is to collect information on the severity of breakthrough COVID-19 infections in outbreaks at long-term care facilities (LTCFs) and to obtain an estimate of relative risk of infection for vaccinated residents and staff members in these settings, by SARS-CoV-2 variant, vaccine product and number of vaccine doses.
