    • 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
