AMR data from wastewater surveillance is still difficult to interpret. With the new UWWTD, AMR wastewater surveillance will come anyways. Thus, we need to identify targets with whom to accompany it to generate use cases.
Maybe combination with STI monitoring could be a thing?

Autochthonous transmission of extensively drug-resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae in Germany, 2025
We report four confirmed autochthonously transmitted gonorrhoea cases in Germany in 2025, with Neisseria gonorrhoeae isolates exhibiting high-level azithromycin and cefixime resistance. Regarding ceftriaxone, isolates were susceptible for two cases and resistant for two, rendering the later extensively drug-resistant (XDR-NG). Cases, all heterosexual males, were in their late teens to mid-60s. Three isolates were MLST ST18091, with the mosaic penA-60.001 allele and the 23S rRNA A2045G mutation and were related to an XDR-NG detected in the United Kingdom in 2024.

Candidozyma auris needs more attention in the Wastewater Surveillance Community, too. It's recognized by AMR experts, but usually not focus of discussion.
While there are challenges to overcome, Wastewater Surveillance can be a tool to gather necessary intel on Candidozyma spread.

⚠️ Without systematic surveillance & mandatory reporting, the true scale of C. auris in Europe is likely underestimated.
⏱️ Early detection & coordinated infection-prevention & control remain essential to limit further spread.
