President signs Executive Order; releases national strategy on antibiotic resistance
The President signed an Executive Order and released a National Strategy for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria [http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/docs/carb_national_strategy.pdf ]. The Executive Order tasks federal agencies to develop an action plan to implement the national strategy and address recommendations from the Presidents Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) [http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/microsites/ostp/PCAST/pcast_carb_report_sept2014.pdf ] on ways to combat the threat of antibiotic resistance. An estimated 2 million Americans will contract an antibiotic resistant infection according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
