I've been a part of this commission for the better part of a year, working with other infectious disease physicians, pediatricians, veterinarians, microbiologists and other experts to craft a roadmap, consisting of 11 core policy recommendations, to help move the U.S. forward in addressing the contribution of livestock antibiotic use to the growing global threat of antibiotic resistance. Our white paper was just released: Combating Antibiotic Resistance: A Policy Roadmap to Reduce Use of Medically Important Antibiotics in Livestock.
