The XDRO registry is a product of collaboration between IDPH, Medical Research Analytics and Informatics Alliance (MRAIA), and the Chicago CDC Prevention Epicenter.

To report CRE, please log-in through IDPH portal and access the XDRO registry under 'product application'

For log-in issues, including password resets, refer to the IDPH web portal home page

New users (who do not have access to the IDPH web portal): You must register for access to the IDPH web portal. Fill out the form to create a new username, and select the box to access the application “INEDSS (Disease Surveillance) System/XDRO registry (extensively drug resistant organism).” This may take several weeks to process.

Users who have access to the IDPH web portal, but not the INEDSS/XDRO application: If you already have a username and access to the IDPH web portal, do not fill out a new registration form. Please have your facility Portal Registration Authority (PRA)* send an email to DPH.Security@illinois.gov requesting for you to have access to the additional application “INEDSS (Disease Surveillance) System/XDRO registry (extensively drug resistant organism).” Make sure your PRA includes your full name and User ID.

Existing INEDSS users: Your existing IDPH log-in will automatically give you access to the XDRO registry.


* Each facility needs a Portal Registration Authority (PRA). The PRA is a designated employee at the facility who is authorized to approve access to IDPH applications for other staff at the facility. If your facility does not have a PRA, a quick video and instructions on how to set up a PRA are available on the training page.
