CDC's 2019 AR Threats Report includes national death and infection estimates that underscore the continued threat of AR in the United States. More than 2.8 million antimicrobial-resistant infections occur in the U.S. each year, and more than 35,000 people die as a result. When C. diff is added to these, the U.S. toll of all the threats in the report exceeds 3 million infections and 48,000 deaths.
