Dear Drs.
Please see attached: The Epidemic of Antimicrobial Resistant Infections: A Call to Action for the Medical Community from the Infectious Diseases Society of America January 15, 2008, Published in Clinical Infectious Diseases [CID 2008:46 (15 January)]. [PDF 167 KB]
IDSA leaders encourage you to share the manuscript widely (including with your respective memberships). We also encourage you to post the document on your organization's website, or feel free to link to: www.idsociety.org/STAARAct -- IDSA will soon post the article on that webpage.
Given this week's two-day federal meeting in Atlanta (see FR notice attached) [PDF 46 KB] --- where the Interagency Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance will work with 70 or more consultants (including many IDSA leaders) to update the federal Action Plan to Combat on Antimicrobial Resistance---the timing of the release of the attached IDSA manuscript could not have been better.
Should you have any questions about IDSA's wish list of strategies to address antimicrobial resistance, which are outlined in the manuscript, please feel free to contact me.
Best regards,
BobRobert J. Guidos, JD Director, Public Policy & Government Relations
