It was created as part of the CDC's National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria. [1] [2] In the United States, antibiotic resistance causes illness in 2 million people and 23,000 deaths. [3] One of the purposes of the ARLN is the identification of resistance mechanisms.
The evolution of bacteria on a "Mega-Plate" petri dish A list of antibiotic resistant bacteria is provided below. These bacteria have shown antibiotic resistance (or antimicrobial resistance). Gram positive Clostridioides difficile Clostridioides difficile is a nosocomial pathogen that causes diarrheal disease worldwide. Diarrhea caused by C. difficile can be life-threatening. Infections are ...
A CDC infographic on how antibiotic resistance (a major type of antimicrobial resistance) happens and spreads AMR is a naturally occurring process. [ 2 ] Antimicrobial resistance can evolve naturally due to continued exposure to antimicrobials.

The CDC implemented their National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria as a measure against the spread of antibiotic resistance in the United States. This initiative has a budget of $161 million and includes the development of the Antibiotic Resistance Lab Network. [74]
ESKAPE is an acronym comprising the scientific names of six highly virulent and antibiotic resistant bacterial pathogens including: Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter spp. [1] The acronym is sometimes extended to ESKAPEE to include Escherichia coli.
