Infectious pathogens in bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites naturally evolve over time. As they do, they can develop antimicrobial resistance (AMR) to available medicines. When this happens, antibiotics and other antimicrobial medicines lose efficacy and these infections become more difficult to treat, increasing the likelihood of disease spread, severity, and death.

From coast to coast, communities across the United States rely on a wide variety of data to inform decision making on everyday issues ranging from food availability and traffic flow to business development. To be useful, these data must be timely, geographically relevant, and topical to the decisions at hand.
