  Hospital labs have the ability to identify most but not all types of antibiotic resistance, especially novel forms of resistance. ; The regional labs will have cutting-edge technology that can provide more information on where detected resistance came from and how it is related to other types of resistance across the country. ; Through the regional lab network, CDC and public health will be able to accumulate real-time, actionable information about dangerous antibiotic resistant threats. ; Using samples from the Resistant-Bacteria Bank, industry and academic institutions will team up with CDC to help patients … receive earlier diagnosis and effective treatment. ; From this bank, samples will be available to industry and academics for diagnostic and drug development. ; CS24167E
