SUMMARY:Using NARMS Now\, a CDC data tool on antibiotic resistance
DESCRIPTION:Watch it now\nSee a recording of this webcast. \nSpeaker’s presentation\nSlides from Regan Rickert-Hartman \n\nOct. 22\, Noon ET\nThis year the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention launched the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS Now)\, a database and visualization tool that makes it quicker and easier to see how antibiotic resistance for four bacteria transmitted commonly through food – Campylobacter\, E. coli O157\, Salmonella\, and Shigella – has changed during the past 18 years. \nThe tool allows users to access antibiotic resistance data by bacteria\, antibiotic\, year (1996-2013)\, and geographic region. It displays data on an interactive map or in tables. NARMS Now is designed to provide access to the most up-to-date antibiotic resistance results by uploading data regularly. \nIn this short webcast\, CDC personnel will demonstrate the tool and answer questions about how the data might be used. \n\n\nModerator: Maryn McKenna\, independent journalist\, Atlanta \n\n\nRegan Rickert-Hartman\, senior epidemiologist and program coordinator\, NARMS\, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention \n\n\nRegan Rickert-Hartman is a senior epidemiologist and the program coordinator for the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System at the CDC.
