CAPTURA WHONET Report
WHONET is a free Windows-based multilingual database software developed for the
management and analysis of microbiology laboratory data with a special focus on the analysis of
antimicrobial susceptibility test results. The software is primarily used to enhance the local use of data
for local needs: clinical decision support, antimicrobial use policy, infection control and outbreak
detection, identifying laboratory test performance, and characterization of local microbial and resistance
epidemiology. Additionally, it is used to promote local, national, regional, and global collaborations
through the exchange of data and sharing of experiences.
CAPTURA used the WHONET software
for retrospective AMR data collection, analysis and interpretation. WHONET was particularly useful during
digitization of paper data, conversion of LIS-exported data using BacLink and collation of data from
different sources. It also helped the project to encrypt data, preventing receipt of patient identifiers. In
collaboration with the WHONET team, CAPTURA developed Epidemiology and Quality Control reports (directly
exported from the software) to assist users in data analysis and report generation.

AMR Tracker
Quick Analysis of AMR Patterns and Trends (QAAPT) Dashboard
To assist in interpretation and visualization of AMR data, CAPTURA is working on
developing the QAAPT application. QAAPT is intended for use by decision-makers, such as healthcare
professionals and national AMR coordinators, engaged in AMR surveillance. It is possible for users to
analyze AMR data and generate dashboards to display AMR patterns, trends and antibiograms.
The development is still work in progress as we are seeking input and feedback from relevant experts. If you

AMC Visualization Tool
To assist in interpretation and visualization of AMC data, CAPTURA has developed a tool
for users to easily upload and display AMC data. The tool can generate various charts and graphs to show DID
by year, consumption by AWaRE categories, AMC by pharmaceutical sub-groups, AMC by route of administration
and so on.
