This section directs users to available epidemiologic data about specific resistant pathogens
or groups of pathogens. Regional information is not available on this Web site.
| Active Bacterial Core Surveillance (ABCs) |
| |
At nine Emerging Infections Program sites (EIPs), surveillance is conducted for invasive bacterial diseases due to pathogens of public health importance. For each case of invasive disease in the study population, a case report with basic demographic information is filed and, in most cases, bacterial isolates from a normally sterile site from patients are sent to CDC for laboratory study.
(ABCs is a project of the CDC Division of Bacterial and Mycotic Diseases (DBMD).) |
| Gonococcal Isolate Surveillance Project (GISP) |
| |
GISP was established in 1986 to monitor trends in antimicrobial susceptibilities of strains of N. gonorrhoeae in the United States in order to establish a rational basis for the selection of gonococcal therapies.
[GISP is a collaborative project involving the CDC (Division of STD Prevention [DSTDP], National Center for HIV, STD, and TB Prevention [NCHSTP], National Center for Infectious Diseases [NCID]), five regional laboratories, and selected STD clinics.]) |
| National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System: Enteric Bacteria (NARMS:EB) |
| |
The main activity of NARMS is to monitor antimicrobial resistance of human enteric bacteria, including Campylobacter, Salmonella, Escherichia coli O157, and Shigella.
(NARMS is a collaborative project involving the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), local and state health departments, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).) |
| National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS) |
| |
CDC is implementing the National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS). When completed, NEDSS will electronically integrate and link together a wide variety of surveillance activities and will facilitate more accurate and timely reporting of disease information to CDC and state and local health departments.

| National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance System (NNIS) |
| |
The National Nosocomial Infections Surveillance (NNIS) System is a cooperative effort that began in 1970 between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and participating hospitals to create a national nosocomial infections database.
(NNIS is a project of the CDC Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP).)
|
| Intensive Care Antimicrobial Resistance Epidemiology (ICARE) |
| |
ICARE is a collaborative project involving the CDC Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP) and the Emory University Rollins School of Public Health. |
| Surveillance of Emerging Antimicrobial Resistance Connected to Healthcare (SEARCH) |
| |
SEARCH is a collaborative project involving the CDC Division of Healthcare Quality Promotion (DHQP) and a network of voluntary participants (i.e., hospitals, private industries, professional organizations, and state health departments). |
