WHO-GASP data tracks the proportion of bacterial isolates showing decreased susceptibility or resistance to extended-spectrum cephalosporins. The dataset originates from the World Health Organization's Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System. Its specific temporal and geographic coverage requires verification after download.
Use Cases
- Analyzing temporal trends in resistance to key antibiotic classes across different regions (inferred from domain, verify after download)
- Modeling risk factors associated with the emergence and spread of resistant bacterial strains (inferred from domain, verify after download)
- Benchmarking national or hospital-level resistance rates against global surveillance data (inferred from domain, verify after download)
Strengths
- Published on the WHO Global Health Observatory platform.
- Sourced from the World Health Organization, an authoritative global health body.
Limitations
- Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download.
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count and temporal coverage are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
Provenance
- Source
- World Health Organization (WHO)
- Collection Method
- Likely aggregated from national and regional surveillance systems reporting to the WHO Global Antimicrobial Resistance Surveillance System (GASP).
- Time Range
- null
- Freshness
- Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
- Geography
- Global coverage is suggested by the platform tags and WHO's role.
