SOAR 201818 Program
Conducted by GSK
Active: 2014-2016
Countries: Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Ukraine, Slovak Republic, Russia, Czech Republic, Greece
Primary objective
Data generation for antibiotic resistance of the main community-acquired respiratory tract infection pathogens such as S.pneumoniae and H.influenzae.
Protocol Summary
| Isolates collection method: | Local labs identify microorganisms based on their routinely used methodology. Then isolates are identified at third party's central laboratory to re-identify microorganisms and perform antibiotic susceptibility testing. |
| Types of surveillance: | Primarily for routine clinical practice, then used for surveillance. |
| Methodology and breakpoints: | Broth microdilution according to CLSI guidelines. |
