Abstract:

Pathogenic and antimicrobial-resistant (AMR) microorganisms are continually transmitted between human, animal, and environmental reservoirs, contributing to the high burden of infectious disease and driving the growing global AMR crisis. The sheer diversity of pathogens, AMR mechanisms, and transmission pathways connecting these reservoirs create the need for comprehensive cross-sectoral surveillance to effectively monitor risks. Current approaches are often siloed by discipline and sector, focusing independently on parts of the whole. Here we advocate that integrated surveillance approaches, developed through transdisciplinary cross-sector collaboration, are key to addressing the dual crises of infectious diseases and AMR. We first review the areas of need, challenges, and benefits of cross-sectoral surveillance, then summarise and evaluate the major detection methods already available to achieve this (culture, quantitative PCR, and metagenomic sequencing). Finally, we outline how cross-sectoral surveillance initiatives can be fostered at multiple scales of action, and present key considerations for implementation and the development of effective systems to manage and integrate this information for the benefit of multiple sectors. While methods and technologies are increasingly available and affordable for comprehensive pathogen and AMR surveillance across different reservoirs, it is imperative that systems are strengthened to effectively manage and integrate this information.
