Booklet of Methods

A harmonization of sampling and sample handling is critical in order to obtain comparable data. During the first project phase of the SARA project, the procedures used by all partners were harmonized. This includes the cultural detection of faecal indicator bacteria, bacteriophages and ESBL E. coli as indicator for ARB. The harmonization of methods also includes the sample preparation for molecular biological analyses. The book of methods includes details of all harmonized methods.

Videos

As part of the SARA project to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in Africa, partners at Eduardo Mondlane University in Mozambique have produced videos to raise awareness of the problem and help people understand the background to the project. Antimicrobial resistance has become one of the most pressing public health issues we face today. We can all play a part in tackling this global threat.
