Description:Antibiotic resistance is the ability of bacteria to resist the e ects of drug treatment. Simply put, germs continue to multiply because the drugs cannot kill them. For more than 30 years, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has monitored antibiotic-resistant gonorrhea trends to help ensure that the recommended drug treatment for gonorrhea is working. Through the National Strategy to Combat Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (CARB)—we arm state
and local health departments with tools to stay a step ahead of resistant gonorrhea—one of the nation’s most urgent public health threats. We also work together with health departments to enhance their capacity to monitor and test
for resistant gonorrhea and develop rapid response strategies if resistance is detected. Following is a brief overview of current activities.
