Excerpts from Books and Wikipedia
"High levels of antibiotic-resistant germs are in all countries and regions of the world. Early and aggressive action at the source can keep germs with unusual resistance from spreading and protect the health and security of the

In addition to the work with partners shown here, CDC staff are leveraging expertise gained from work domestically to collaborate with global partners on pilot projects to combat tuberculosis in China and Vietnam and on outbreak responses of resistant germs around the world."
