• For every isolate submitted, ETD will generate an automated report highlighting emerging AMR genes and resistance mutations for that bacteria.
• The report will present factors such as the resistance mechanism, drug class, and gene location affected.
• In addition, it will provide qualitative assessments of outbreak risk and import probability.
• This information can help public health consider whether this isolate or related samples require additional investigation.

Slide 5

• This simple first page is supplemented by a detailed presentation and analyses of spatiotemporal, evolutionary, and gene mobility factors, as well as resistance patterns.
• These reports can be stored locally and shared between public health professionals whose actions may be influenced by the results presented.
• Newly detected emerging resistances will also be disseminated in a publicly accessible manner so that they can be fed into curated news services to reach specialists, journalists, and the wider public.

Slide 6

• The potential impact of ETD is wide-reaching.
• It will greatly improve surveillance efforts, and consequently help guide antimicrobial stewardship and clinical decision-making.
• Public health professionals and the clinicians and veterinarians will have a more complete picture of emerging AMR in the areas where they live and work.
