What we can and cannot see from the surveillance for drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa—Findings from the evaluation of a surveillance system for multidrug-resistant P. aeruginosa infections in Japan
Our evaluation indicated that the current sentinel surveillance system for MDRP infections partially captured the true decreasing trend in Japan. However, as the epidemiology of drug-resistant P. aeruginosa is changing, national policy and surveillance strategies would need to address changing public health needs.
