Help on using Resistance Map
To begin exploring, you have the choice of three different types of charts: (1) A map; (2) A trending line graph; and (3) a bar chart.
All three charts present the same data but in different ways; on the map you have the latest resistance rates for a particular pathogen-antibiotic combination; the trending line chart has resistance rates for multiple antibiotics over time covering as much data as we have available for a particular pathogen; and the bar chart shows the latest resistance rates for multiple antibiotics to a particular pathogen across multiple countries.
To get started on any chart, select a pathogen of interest. By default the available antibiotics will be accessible while those for which data is not available will be greyed out.
In the map, selecting a new antibiotic will change the display. On the trend line and bar chart, all potential antibiotics are selected by default. You may remove antibiotics from the chart either by clicking on them in the chart, or by clicking on them in the list below the chart.
The trend line (and bar charts) defaults to a particular country (or countries), but it easy to change countries. On the trend line, clicking a country changes the chart to display the data for the available antibiotics, while on the bar chart, clicking a country either adds the country to the chart, or removes one that is already selected.
You can save the chart in a multitude of formats using the button in the upper right of the chart.
Because of differences in scope of collections and testing methods, caution should be exercised in comparing across countries. For more details see methodology.
