Measuring Infectious Causes and Resistance Outcomes for Burden Estimation (MICROBE)

The MICROBE (Measuring Infectious Causes and Resistance Outcomes for Burden Estimation) tool from the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) is an interactive data visualization platform that displays global estimates of both fatal and non-fatal health outcomes related to infectious diseases and antimicrobial resistance, by pathogen, region, age and sex. It integrates data from the Global Burden of Disease framework to help users quantify and compare the overall burden of infections—including those caused by resistant bacteria—across countries and over time, making it useful for researchers, policymakers, and public health professionals monitoring the impact of antimicrobial resistance worldwide.
