What is AMR infection?

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens the effective prevention and treatment of an ever-increasing range of infections caused by bacteria, parasites, viruses and fungi. AMR is an increasingly serious threat to global public health that requires action across all government sectors and society.

What is AMR gene panel?

What is AMR fund?

The CDC Foundation has established an AMR Fund to assist CDC and its partners to continue making meaningful progress across the spectrum of AMR: from improving antibiotic use, including access to lifesaving drugs, to investing in innovative ways to prevent and treat these infections. …

Why is AMR a concern?

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change in ways that make treatments ineffective. AMR is a major concern because drug-resistant infections can kill, spread to others, and impose huge costs on individuals and society.

Why does AMR occur?

Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) occurs when bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites change over time and no longer respond to medicines making infections harder to treat and increasing the risk of disease spread, severe illness and death.

What is the purpose of launching of AMR Action Fund in 2020?

The AMR Action Fund will be key to reversing that trajectory, strengthening and accelerating the research and development of antibiotics through game-changing investments into biotechnology companies around the world. Our focus must be on both priority pathogens and innovative new treatments.
