Increasing concern about the emergence of resistance of the clinically important pathogens has led to the establishment of a number of surveillance programmes to monitor the actual extent of resistance at the local, regional and national levels. This review describes some of the major programs of surveillance initiatives and the ways to apply the obtained data in different settings. In the hospital, surveillance data are used to monitor local antibiograms resistance and to determine infection control strategies and antibiotic usage policies. The surveillance data are used to monitor public health threats such as infectious disease outbreaks involving resistant pathogens and the effects of bioterrorism countermeasures by following the effects of prophylactic use of different antibiotics on resistance. Initially, the pharmaceutical industry sponsored surveillance programmes to monitor the susceptibility of clinical isolates to marketed antibiotic products. However, at present, in the era of burgeoning resistance, many developers of antimicrobial agents find surveillance data useful for defining new drug discovery and development strategies, in that they assist with the identification of new medical needs, allow modelling of future resistance trends, and identify high-profile isolates for screening the activity of new agents. Surveillance data also represent an integral component of regulatory submissions for new agents and, together with clinical trial data, are used to determine breakpoints. It is clear that antibiotic resistance surveillance systems will continue to provide valuable data to health care providers, university researchers, pharmaceutical companies and the government.
