Why it matters |

In July 2024, CDC published Antimicrobial Resistance Threats in the United States, 2021-2022. These new data show that six bacterial antimicrobial-resistant hospital-onset infections increased by a combined 20% during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period, peaking in 2021, and remaining above pre-pandemic levels in 2022. In addition, the number of reported clinical cases of C. auris—a type of yeast that can spread in healthcare facilities, is often resistant to antifungal medications, and can cause severe illness—increased nearly five-fold from 2019 to 2022. These data show that additional action is critical to slow the spread and impact of antimicrobial resistance (AR). From travelers, animal owners, and caregivers to patients and healthcare providers, we all have a role to play to combat antimicrobial resistance.
