ABCs Bact Facts Interactive Data Dashboard

Bact Facts Interactive allows you to view data from Active Bacterial Core surveillance (ABCs), a part of CDC’s Emerging Infections Program (EIP). ABCs is laboratory- and population-based surveillance that monitors invasive bacterial infections that cause bloodstream infections, sepsis, and meningitis in persons living in the community. ABCs data are used to understand the burden of these severe infections and to inform vaccine and other public health policies.

To use Bact Facts Interactive, first select a bacterium. Next, select a topic to see data trends throughout the years.
