KPC-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae transmission documented in a long-term care facility, underscoring HCW role in CRE transmission. In the U.S., CRE infections surged 69% in 2025; NDM-producing strains increased 461%. Healthcare workers in ICUs, wound care, and catheter management are at highest occupational exposure risk. Contact precautions, dedicated equipment, and environmental decontamination are the primary control measures. Clinical laboratory staff should handle CRE cultures under BSL-2 containment.

Since 2015, a growing proportion of Shigella cases have been caused by extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Shigella species, defined as being resistant to ampicillin, azithromycin, ceftriaxone, ciprofloxacin, and trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. No FDA–approved oral antimicrobial agents are available to treat these XDR infections.
One in six laboratory-confirmed bacterial infections causing common infections in people worldwide in 2023 were resistant to antibiotic treatments, according to a new WHO report.
Drug-resistant TB is transmitted in the same way as drug-susceptible TB. However, delays in the recognition of drug resistance or delays in access to effective anti-TB drugs may increase transmission and further development of drug resistance.
The purpose of this Strategy is to serve as a guide to USDA agencies and their collaborators on priorities to accelerate our understanding of and minimize the risk from AMR, focusing on the terrestrial and aquatic food and agriculture sector.
The WHO AWaRe (Access, Watch, Reserve) antibiotic book provides information on antibiotis, dose, route of administration, and duration of treatment for more than 30 of the most common clinical infections in children and adults.

Antibiotic resistant P. aeruginosa was found in patients treated in an ICU months apart; multifaceted interventions, including sink hygiene practices, engineering controls, and administrative controls, are critical to limiting multidrug-resistant organism spread in health care settings.
