  Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S.)
• Description:
  Antibiotic resistance (AR), when germs do not respond to the drugs designed to kill them, threatens to return us to the time when simple infections were often fatal. CDC is committed to protecting people and the future of the healthcare, veterinary, and agriculture industries from the threat of antibiotic resistance.
  
  The AR Investment Map showcases CDC’s critical activities in the U.S. and abroad to combat AR with investments in laboratory and epidemiological expertise and public health innovation. The map also includes CDC’s COVID-19 efforts related to combating AR, highlighted in a new fact sheet.
  
  CDC supports most of these activities through its AR Solutions Initiative, while also leveraging investments from successful programs across the agency for maximum efficiency.
  
  Since 2016, CDC’s AR Solutions Initiative has supported comprehensive AR work in the U.S. and leveraged lessons learned for local solutions abroad.
  
  • Projects in the U.S. and approximately 50 countries abroad
  
  • Nearly $645 million to 59 state and local health departments
  
  • Supporting 500+ local AR experts
  
  • AR Lab Network detects a resistant germ that requires investigation every 4 hours (as of 2021)
