About CEDAR

What is CEDAR?

CEDAR is the Collection of Epidemiologically Derived Associations with Resistance database. CEDAR catalogues factors (e.g., exposures, interventions, practices) whose affect(s) on the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) have been quantified in the scientific literature.

You are currently accessing the CEDAR web app (https://cedar.amr.pub/), used to publicly browse and query the CEDAR database. Get started browsing CEDAR using the menu above.

To learn more about CEDAR, see the documentation.

If you encounter an error with the CEDAR web app (https://cedar.amr.pub/), notice an error in the data, or have a suggestion for improvements, please submit an issue at Github.

NOTE: At this time, the query page loads the entire dataset before the results can be filtered – it is a time-intensive and data-heavy process that works but will be improved upon in future releases.

What data are in CEDAR?

At present, the projects submitted to CEDAR have focused on factors in the agri-food production system related to popular food animal commodities and enteric disease causing bacteria.

The food animals and microorganisms presentely covered by CEDAR include:

  • Cattle

  • Chickens

  • Swine

  • Turkeys

  • E. coli

Future releases of CEDAR will support factors related to humans and the environment.
