These new data show that six bacterial antimicrobial-resistant hospital-onset infections increased by a combined 20% during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to the pre-pandemic period, peaking in 2021, and remaining above pre-pandemic levels in 2022. In addition, the number of reported clinical cases of <em>Candida auris</em> (<em>C. auris)—</em>a type of yeast that can spread in healthcare facilities, is often resistant to antifungal medications, and can cause severe illness—increased nearly five-fold from 2019 to 2022. These data show that additional action is critical to slow the spread and impact of antimicrobial resistance.</p> </div> </div></div> <h3 id="heading-_6jhvdhecu">About past and future AR Threats Reports</h3> <p>In 2013, CDC published the first AR Threats Report, which sounded the alarm to the danger of AR. The 2013 and 2019 reports do not include viruses (e.g., HIV, influenza) or parasites. The 2013 report stated that each year in the U.S. at least 2 million people got an antimicrobial-resistant infection, and at least 23,000 people died.

Starting in 2025, CDC will release estimates for at least 19 antimicrobial resistance threats and an update on the U.S. burden of antimicrobial resistance, by pathogen, in a new electronic format. Going forward, CDC will release new estimates for the burden of these threats at least every two years. Data are critical to guide efforts to combat antimicrobial resistance, and CDC is committed to providing the high-quality data required to steer this important work.</p> </div> <div
