Description
Summary:Rising proportions of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) have been observed in both Staphylococcus aureus and Enterococcus spp. isolates. The Australian Group on Antimicrobial Resistance (AGAR) surveillance program captures clinical and microbiological data of isolates detected in blood cultures across Australia. EUCAST 2022 was used for MIC interpretation and the AMR package in R for data analysis. There were 2,091 BSIs with S. aureus and 534 enterococcal BSI episodes over the nine years. Three-quarters of S. aureus BSI episodes were community-onset (78.3%) whilst more than half of enterococcal BSIs were hospital-onset (56.9%). The median age for S. aureus BSIs was 6 years, whilst >50% enterococcal BSIs were in children
