File name | Sentinel Surveillance Method |
File Description | Sentinel surveillance provides an alternative to population-based surveillance for the collection and analysis of individual patient-related information and more limited monitoring of antimicrobial resistance trends. A principal advantage of a sentinel laboratory system, compared with the antibiotic method for example, is the ability to collect information on individual cases. For example, sentinel surveillance allows for comparison of trends in resistance among pediatric cases, adult cases, between age groups or among individual patients from whom S. pneumonia is isolated. |
