RESAPATH online
About Resapath
The Resapath is the French network for surveillance of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacterial pathogens isolated from diseased animals (all species).
In 2022, Resapath involves 108 public and private laboratories located throughout France (99 out of 101 French administrative departments) that participate on a voluntary basis. It collects AMR data from approx. 70,000 bacterial strains and plays a key role in the monitoring of AMR in France.
Resapath is coordinated by ANSES (laboratories of Lyon and Ploufragan-Plouzané-Niort) which collects data from antimicrobial susceptibility testing (disk diffusion) performed by laboratories on request of veterinary practitioners. Resapath objectives are:
• To monitor AMR in bacteria isolated from diseased animals in France;
• To detect the emergence of new resistance phenotypes and their dissemination within bacteria of animal origin ;
• To contribute to the characterization of the molecular mechanisms responsible for resistance ;
• To provide member laboratories and partners with scientific and technical support (annual seminars, proficiency trials, scientific opinion and expertise,...);
• To contribute to the definition of standards for antimicrobial susceptibility testing in veterinary medicine (source of data for the veterinary section of the antibiogram committee of the French Society of Microbiology – CA-SFM)

How to use the Resapath dashboard
In each tab, the left side of the webpage can be used to select the animal species/year/pathology of interest.
Four tabs are available:
• General data: this tab displays several graphs showing the number of antibiograms collected per year and animal species, and stratified by age categories, pathologies or bacteria
• Resistance tables: this tab represents the number of antibiograms collected and the proportion of resistant strains for each antibiotic tested according to year, animal species and combination of pathology/bacteria of interest, provided the amount of data is sufficient
• Resistance trends: this tab represents trends since 2005 in the percentage of resistant strains for each selected antibiotic, according to animal species and combination of pathology/bacteria of interest
• Resistance mapping: represents the proportion of resistant strains per department compared with the national proportion for the antibiotics selected, depending on the animal species and the pathology/bacteria combination selected.
Resistance proportions are calculated by grouping together intermediate and resistant isolates

The disk diffusion method has certain limitations for colistin (50 µg) but remains the most widely used method by veterinary diagnostic laboratories in France. E. coli strains with a zone of inhibition diameter greater than or equal to 18 mm have a very high probability of being sensitive (MIC < 2 mg/L). Diameters of 15 to 17 mm, which cannot be interpreted, are categorised as resistant by default. Diameters of less than 15 mm are categorised as resistant.
Only antibiotics for which at least 30 strains are available in RESAPATH are displayed. Resistance proportions are calculated by grouping together intermediate and resistant isolates.

The below graph displays the percentage of resistant strains and its 95% confidence interval. Only antibiotics for which at least 30 strains are available in RESPAPTH are displayed. Resistance proportions are calculated by grouping together intermediate and resistant isolates.
The disk diffusion method has certain limitations for colistin (50 µg) but remains the most widely used method by veterinary diagnostic laboratories in France. E. coli strains with a zone of inhibition diameter greater than or equal to 18 mm have a very high probability of being sensitive (MIC < 2 mg/L). Diameters of 15 to 17 mm, which cannot be interpreted, are categorised as resistant by default. Diameters of less than 15 mm are categorised as resistant.
For different combinations of animal species - pathology - bacteria - antibiotic, the proportions of resistance with their 95% confidence intervals are calculated for each geographical department. For each department, the proportion of resistant strains is compared with the national average proportion.
The departments are classified into four categories:
• Proportion of resistant strains significantly higher than the national proportion (red) ;
• Proportion of resistant strains significantly lower than the national proportion (green) ;
• Proportion of resistant strains not statistically different from the national proportion (yellow) ;
• Proportion not comparable (<30 antibiotic susceptibility tests) (grey).
