Mapping antibiotic resistance with the CDDEP

The Center for Disease Dynamics, Economics & Policy (CDDEP) provides an interactive map here:http://resistancemap.cddep.org/

The data are illuminating and should cause some concern as we look at the growing resistance. There is also hope in noting the prevention of this issue to a large degree by key countries where policy is enforced and use is seen differently, with the consumer not driving the “drug bus”, rather an informed physician guided by long range policy.
