Comprehensive Antimicrobial Resistance Database (CARDS)

The Comprehensive Antimicrobial Resistance Database (CARDS) is an organized collection of information about bacteria's resistance to antibiotics. It helps scientists and healthcare professionals understand how bacteria become resistant, which antibiotics are affected, and how to detect these resistant bacteria. By studying this database, researchers can develop better treatments and strategies to combat infections that no longer respond to common antibiotics. CARDS plays a crucial role in monitoring and addressing the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance, ultimately supporting public health efforts to manage resistant infections effectively.
