Genomic sequencing reveals previously unknown genes that make microbes resistant to drugs and hard to kill

Each year , there are more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections in the United States .

Antimicrobial resistance began to emerge as a serious threat in the 1940s with penicillin resistance.

Resistant infections often go unnoticed until antibiotics fail, making detection and intervention slow.

Researchers have integrated whole genome sequencing into antimicrobial resistance surveillance.

As antimicrobial resistance continues to rise, adopting a One Health approach that integrates human, animal and environmental factors can help ensure that emerging resistance does not outpace humans' ability to combat it.

Ensuring researchers around the world follow common research standards will allow more labs, especially those in low- and middle-income countries, to contribute to global surveillance efforts.
