    Activity: Lecture / Presentation › Academic

    Description

    Empirical antibiotic treatment requires good insight in the prevalance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Conventional prevalence surveys are time consuming, costly, and provide aggregated estimates. The presentation introduces the LQAS methodology to rapidly classify well-defined populations as having high- or low prevalence of AMR, facilitating appropriate antibiotic treatment strategies at a local level
