据欧盟食品安全局消息，9月9日欧盟食品安全局公布了欧盟地区致病菌耐药性统计学分析方法，采用耐药分离数据论证分析方法。
致病菌耐药性被认为是近十年来的主要公共健康问题之一。自2010年以来，欧盟地区有关的分离数据每年都会向欧盟食品安全局汇报。欧盟每年都会针对几个菌种，测定他们对不同抗生素的耐药性数据，并且报告最小抑菌浓度。
部分原文报道如下：
Since antimicrobial resistance （AMR） has been one of the major public health burdens over the last decade， it is of great importance to appropriately monitor and analyse AMR data. Isolate-based data within the EU have been routinely collected since 2010 and reported to EFSA on a yearly basis. AMR data are collected for several bacterial species， tested for susceptibility against different antimicrobials and minimum inhibitory concentration （MIC） is reported. For analysis purposes， a dichotomized version of the MIC values based on the epidemiological cut-off is used to represent different resistance patterns.
