The abstract describes a study that analyzed and compared antimicrobial resistance (AMR) surveillance methods in Bangladesh, finding that the national case-based system had more detailed data but lacked integration with laboratory information systems, while a project called CAPTURA had less detailed data but collected from all available clinical samples, and recommending a tailored approach to AMR surveillance in resource-limited settings.

The abstract reports on a study analyzing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) data from additional sources in Nepal, finding that data quality and priority variables from sites within and outside the national surveillance network were similar, suggesting the potential for expanding the surveillance system without a substantial budget increase. Some authors reported potential conflicts of interest related to the study.
