The Food and Drug Administration's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) announced today [4 May 2010] the availability of the National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring Systems' Enteric Bacteria (NARMS) 2007 Executive Report.

The report summarizes, in an integrated format, NARMS data on non-typhoidal Salmonella and Campylobacter isolates recovered in 2007 from food animals at federally inspected plants, retail meats, and humans. The report also includes susceptibility data on Escherichia coli isolates recovered from retail meats and chickens. Summary data from prior years are also included.

As a supplement to the report, CVM has also provided 2 interactive graphs. The graphs allow users to visualize trends in antimicrobial resistance among NARMS Salmonella and Campylobacter isolates through a user-friendly interface.
