  abstract = {{O}bjective : {T}o establish a hospital-based surveillance network with national coverage for antimicrobial resistance ({AMR}) and antibiotic consumption in {V}iet {N}am. {M}ethods : {A} 16-hospital network ({V}iet {N}am {R}esistance: {VINARES}) was established and consisted of national and provincial-level hospitals across the country. {A}ntimicrobial susceptibility testing results from routine clinical diagnostic specimens and antibiotic consumption data in {D}efined {D}aily {D}ose per 1000 bed days ({DDD}/1000 patient-days) were prospectively collected and analysed between {O}ctober 2012 and {S}eptember 2013. {R}esults : {D}ata from a total of 24 732 de-duplicated clinical isolates were reported. {T}he most common bacteria were: {E}scherichia coli (4437 isolates, 18%), {K}lebsiella spp. (3290 isolates, 13%) and {A}cinetobacter spp. (2895 isolates, 12%). {T}he hospital average antibiotic consumption was 918 {DDD}/1000 patient-days. {T}hird-generation cephalosporins were the most frequently used antibiotic class (223 {DDD}/1000 patient-days, 24%), followed by fluoroquinolones (151 {DDD}/1000 patient-days, 16%) and second-generation cephalosporins (112 {DDD}/1000 patient-days, 12%). {P}roportions of antibiotic resistance were high: 1098/1580 (69%) {S}taphylococcus aureus isolates were methicillin-resistant ({MRSA}); 115/344 isolates (33%) and 90/358 (25%) {S}treptococcus pneumoniae had reduced susceptibility to penicillin and ceftriaxone, respectively. {A} total of 180/2977 (6%) {E}. coli and 242/1526 (16%) {K}lebsiella pneumoniae were resistant to imipenem, respectively; 602/1826 (33%) {P}seudomonas aeruginosa were resistant to ceftazidime and 578/1765 (33%) to imipenem. {O}f {A}cinetobacter spp. 1495/2138 (70%) were resistant to carbapenems and 2/333 (1%) to colistin. {C}onclusions : {T}hese data are valuable in providing a baseline for {AMR} among common bacterial pathogens in {V}ietnamese hospitals and to assess the impact of interventions.},
