CDC unveils interactive tool to illustrate changes in antibiotic resistance

The CDC has unveiled a new interactive tool that will allow people to track antibiotic resistance in four bacteria over the past 18 years.

The tool includes data on Campylobacter, E. coli, salmonella and Shigella from the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System and is called NARMS Now: Human Data.

Users will be able to examine data displayed as interactive maps or tables and can filter by bacteria, antibiotic, year and geographic region

NARMS Now: Human Data is designed to provide researchers and investigators with access to the most current antibiotic resistance results and will be updated regularly.
