The program will gather and transmit information, and provide reports for both local and national use. Medical centers will then be able to perform epidemiological analyses of the occurrence of pathogens at their own facilities and within their own patient populations.

PHLIS is a CDC electronic reporting system used by public health department laboratories in all states, New York City, the District of Columbia, and Guam to report laboratory isolate-based surveillance data to the CDC. The system was developed jointly by the National Center for Infectious Diseases at CDC and the Association of State and Territorial Public Health Laboratory Directors to maintain a fast, direct link between public health laboratories in the United States and the CDC.

Several DoD overseas laboratories have projects under way to track in vitro drug resistance patterns of Plasmodium falciparium, the causitive agent of human malaria. Another module being implemented at most of the overseas units involves standardized antibiotic resistance testing of enteric organisms with a focus on quinolone resistance.

in hospitals in New York City, in collaboration with a group of physicians, clinical microbiologists, and the TB Center of the Public Health Research Institute. Late in 1997, the BAR Initiative was reorganized to concentrate on more researchoriented prospective studies in the area of antibiotic resistance, keeping close ties with a group of collaborating hospitals and offering training to clinical microbiologists in the techniques of molecular fingerprinting.

These data include statistics on nosocomial infections and antibiotic resistance patterns. The Web site also includes a fairly extensive list of references related to infections and infection control in long-term-care facilities.

The program aims to monitor antibiotic resistance in bacteria isolated from livestock, food, and humans in addition to monitoring the use of antibiotics in human and animal therapy and for growth promotion. The program also aims to demonstrate any connection between such use and the occurrence of resistance.

Program aims to assist countries, particularly developing countries, to establish national resistance surveillance networks and to use the information derived from these networks to update prescribing guidelines and ensure the availability of appropriate antimicrobials. To this end, the ARM Program organizes national policy workshops (in collaboration with other divisions in WHO)

Their goal is to make various kinds of data available electronically for purposes of analysis and prediction, in a timely and easy-to-access manner. Once the dengue fever prototype is developed, with the assistance of the epidemiological research community, the group plans to expand this system to other infectious diseases that may have a strong environmental component.
