Description:
GLOBAL ACTION

1. Improve Laboratory Capacity: Countries need medical labs to identify bacteria and choose the right drugs to treat them. When people get antibiotics without this testing, they:

• Often get treatment that doesn’t help

• Develop and spread resistant bacteria

• Increase their risk for future resistant infections

2. Develop National Tracking Programs: Countries need the infrastructure to collect resistance data and report results globally. This information is necessary to:

• Target and measure prevention efforts

• Drive policies that help stop spread

3. Implement Antibiotic Stewardship Programs: To ensure antibiotics are here when we need them, they must be prescribed and taken correctly now.

4. Expand Infection Control Programs: Improving infection control practices in healthcare settings is critical to prevent spread of antibiotic resistant germs.

CDC’s proposed Antibiotic Resistance Solutions Initiative will:

1. Allow standardized tracking of antibiotic resistance internationally

2. Prevent antibiotic resistance

3. Improve antibiotic prescribing and use

4. Boost communication of antibiotic resistance threats
