Examining the Long-term Health and Economic Effects of Antimicrobial Resistance in the United States

Completed

Topics

This committee will look at progress on the National Strategy for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria. It will discuss ways to improve detection of resistant infections, and ways to estimate the risk to human health from environmental sources of resistance. The report will discuss the effect of agricultural practices on human and animal health and animal welfare and ways these practices could be improved and advise on key drugs and diseases for which animal-specific test breakpoints are needed. The role of economic incentives for the development of drugs and diagnostics for both human and veterinary use will be explored.
