The surveillance of Neisseria gonorrhoeae antimicrobial susceptibility in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) is essential for detecting emerging and increasing antimicrobial resistance. Since 2009, this surveillance has been co-ordinated by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). The quality-assured data produced can be used to inform treatment guidelines.
For 2020, 29 countries in the European Union/European Economic Area (EU/EEA) reported a total of 33 148 tuberculosis (TB) cases (7.3 per 100 000 population).
