AMR in Light of COVID-19 A Webinar Series  Through a four-part webinar series, global experts will discuss how the COVID-19 pandemic could reshape strategies for combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR) around the world.   Each of us is now living in a world with a nearly untreatable virus—but COVID-19 is not the only threat that we are facing. Many bacterial and fungal infections that were previously considered treatable are no longer responding to the drugs designed to kill them.  Join CDC and partners for the first webinar on Thursday, September 24, 2020, to discuss tracking the spread of difficult-to-treat infections.

Tracking the spread of COVID-19 has been critical to the global public health response. This information allows hospitals to prepare for surges, governments to deploy testing strategies, and citizens to modify their behavior appropriately. But while information about COVID-19 is readily and publicly available, the world still struggles to monitor and track the spread of drug resistant infections. How should global monitoring and data sharing evolve to combat antimicrobial resistance?
