# Combating Antibiotic Resistance- Tracking and Data

Data collection for antibiotic resistance is challenging—information is often limited, inconsistent, or unavailable. Implementing data and tracking systems locally and globally can help track antibiotic resistance, guide prevention strategies, and report results. Surveillance is essential in identifying resistant germs and informs infection control and policies that can help prevent future infections.
