Description
Dong Woo Shin and coauthors evaluate in 2026 the quality control center behind South Korea's national antimicrobial resistance surveillance system. Trustworthy resistance data depend on laboratories testing bacteria the same way across the country. The center runs proficiency checks while the surveillance network expands into new species and drugs.
The team reviewed interlaboratory testing and external assessment results from 2020 to 2024, spanning two phases of the program. Hospital isolates go to specialist centers for standardized susceptibility testing, while the control center independently verifies quality. The report judges whether accuracy held as the system grew, a question every national surveillance program must answer.
