UK Salmonella Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring, 2001 to 2014

APHA data shows the number of cultures and percentage of Salmonella (excluding Dublin and Typhimurium serovars) resistant to 16 antimicrobials from 2001 to 2014. The laboratory facilities are UKAS accredited to BS EN ISO 17025:2000 and APHA holds ISO 9001 certification. Attribution statement: ©Crown Copyright, APHA 2016.

Use Cases

• Analyze temporal trends in antimicrobial resistance based on yearly percentage data.
• Model resistance patterns for Salmonella serovars based on the 16 tested antimicrobials.
• Benchmark laboratory testing standards based on the described ISO accreditations and proficiency testing.

Strengths

• Covers a 14-year time range from 2001 to 2014.
• Reports on resistance to 16 specific antimicrobials.
• Data sourced from UKAS and ISO accredited laboratories, suggesting standardized testing.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic and temporal bias inherent to the UK monitoring system.
