Description:

• Once antibiotic resistance spreads, it is harder to control—like a wildfire.

• Finding and responding to unusual resistance early, before it becomes common, can help stop its spread and protect people.

• New or rare types of antibiotic resistance can be easier to contain when found rapidly—like a spark or campfire.

UNUSUAL ANTIBIOTIC-RESISTANT GERMS ARE:

• Resistant to all or most antibiotics tested, making them hard to treat, and

• Uncommon in a geographic area or the US, or

• Have special genes that allow them to spread their resistance to other germs

Examples of unusual resistance: Vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (VRSA), Candida auris, and certain types of “nightmare bacteria” such as carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE).
