State-by-State Fact Sheets Show CDC’s Work to Combat AR

Just released, a new tool shows CDC’s key investments to combat antibiotic resistance (AR) across the nation. 

The CDC AR Investment Map includes an interactive web app and printable state- and city-specific fact sheets describing CDC’s work to tackle AR using fiscal year 2016 funds. Use these fact sheets to see how CDC supports AR activities in your area. 

View funding amounts by state and activity, including investments in:

  • State and local public health partners to fight AR in healthcare facilities, the community, and food.

  • Innovations and investigations to implement new ways to prevent antibiotic-resistant infections and contain their spread.

  • Public health laboratories to boost state and local testing capacity and technology to detect and contain, support response to, and prevent AR threats nationwide.



 

Combating antibiotic resistance is a CDC priority. We must remain vigilant to address and contain this ongoing threat as demonstrated by this week’s publication in CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly (MMWR) report. 

With these investments and the AR Solutions Initiative, CDC, in partnership with health departments, academia, and healthcare, is transforming how the nation combats and slows antibiotic resistance at all levels. Working together we can stand up a full, faster response to protect Americans from this threat.
