    WHOnet is a free database software developed by the WHO to manage microbiology laboratory test results and facilitate antimicrobial susceptibility data analysis. Preparing data on WHOnet involves configuring BacLink software to import data from existing laboratory information systems and running conversions. Developing an antibiogram using WHOnet data analysis is important for hospital antimicrobial stewardship and surveillance of resistance in a particular region. An antibiogram should be based on a representative data set that meets requirements regarding specimen validity, pathogen isolation, and minimum number of isolates tested. It can provide a description of susceptibility patterns based on specimen type, wards, pathogen type, and clinical status to guide local antimicrobial usage and evaluate resistance trends over time.

    WHOnet is a database software for the management of microbiology laboratory test


    result. The principal goals of the software are to enhance local use of laboratory data and to
    promote collaboration through the exchange of data between centers. The software was
    developed for the management of routine laboratory result, for research and for data analysis
    of antimicrobial susceptibility. WHOnet analytical tools can facilitate the selection of
    antimicrobial agents, the surveillance and identification of antimicrobial resistance.
    Preparation of data analysis by WHOnet are began with BacLink configuration. BacLink 2
    is a software complimentary to WHOnet for data importing from existing microbiology
    laboratory information system or automated susceptibility test instruments. Both software are
    available free of charge from the WHO. The two principal components of BacLink 2 are file
    format configuration and running the conversion. File format configuration consists principally
    in describing the structure and the codes used in the data file. File format configuration only
    needs to be accomplished once and can modified at a future date if we introduce change into
    our data files. After we have configured BacLink, we are ready to convert the data files into
    WHOnet structure (or alternatively Excel, Access, dBASE or text format). We can convert data
    files on a periodic basis - monthly, yearly - if we want add to the database prospectively.
    The WHOnet data analysis of antimicrobial susceptibility microbe is important to
    develop the surveillance in particular region. Hospital surveillance of antimicrobial resistance is
    the main activity of antimicrobial stewardship program. Some requirements for the
    representative data set analysis consists of the specimen validity, the relevancy of the pathogen
    which is first isolate recovered from particular specimen in specific period of infection and the
    number of isolates tested of each antimicrobial in one period analysis which minimal is 30.
    Based on PMK 8 2015, hospital antibiogram is minimally developed yearly. Developing
    antibiogram might be general or stratified analysis according to the capacities available. More
    simple detail analysis might be donefor limited data and resources. Description of susceptibility

    1
    pattern could be based on specimen type, wards, pathogen type, clinical status, etc. In general,
    specimen type could be categorized as sterile sourced (blood, cerebrospinal fluid, pleural or
    pericardial fluid, etc) and non-sterile sourced ; pathogen type could be categorized based on
    Gram staining (Gram +ve or -ve) ; wards could be categorized as adult, paediatric, intensive,
    emergency or out patients. Multidrug resistance pathogens are recommended described
    antimicrobial susceptibility pattern particularly.
    This local continuous representative antibiogram will become based of antimicrobial usage
    guideline in the hospital. Based on the local antibiogram, antibiotics in hospital might be
    categorized as restricted or not restricted for controlling their risk of resistance. This
    antibiogram have also the roles to evaluate the resistance trend by the time.
