Global Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology Online Network (GIDEON) is a web-based program for decision support and

fungi have been described. GIDEON works to combat this by creating a diagnosis through geographical indicators,[2] a map of the status of the disease in history, a detailed list of potential vaccines and treatments,[3]
and finally listing all the potential species of the disease or outbreak such as bacterial classifications.

Organization

GIDEON consists of four modules. The first

bioterror
surveillance.

The second module follows the

.

The third module is an interactive encyclopedia which incorporates the pharmacology, usage, testing standards and global trade names of all antiinfective drugs and vaccines.

The fourth module is designed to identify or characterize all species of bacteria,

taxa
which may not appear in standard texts and laboratory databases for several months.

Additional options allow users to add data (in their own font / language) relevant to their own institution, electronic patient charts, material from the internet, important telephone numbers, drug prices, antimicrobial resistance patterns, etc. This form of custom data is particularly useful when running GIDEON on institutional networks. The data in GIDEON are derived from:

  • all peer-reviewed journals in the fields of Infectious Diseases, Pediatrics, Internal Medicine, Tropical Medicine, Travel Medicine, Antimicrobial Pharmacology and Clinical Microbiology
  • a monthly electronic literature search based on all relevant keywords
  • all available health ministry reports (both printed and electronic)
  • standard texts
  • abstracts of major meetings
