In 2001, the Task Force developed an initial Action Plan, outlining specific issues, goals, and actions important for addressing the problem of AR. This document, entitled A Public Health Action Plan to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance, Part I: Domestic Issues, reflected a broad- based consensus of participating federal agencies, which was reached with individual input from state and local health agencies, universities, professional societies, pharmaceutical companies, healthcare delivery organizations, agricultural producers, consumer groups, and other members of the public. Continued collaboration with these partners has been vital to achieving successful implementation of the Action Plan. The 2011 revision of the Action Plan was based in part on individual input obtained at a consultants' meeting held in Atlanta, Georgia, in December 2007. Present at the public meeting were consultants with wide-ranging expertise in areas such as human and veterinary medicine, pharmaceutical and diagnostics manufacturing, animal husbandry, clinical microbiology, epidemiology, infectious diseases and infection control, and state and local public health officials. The Action Plan includes action items organized into four focus areas: Surveillance, Prevention and Control, Research, and Product Development. ; Executive summary -- Introduction and overview -- The Focus Areas -- Focus Area I: Surveillance -- Focus Area II: Prevention and Control -- Focus Area III: Research -- Focus Area IV: Product Development -- Acronyms and abbreviations ; Interagency Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance ; co-chairs: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration. ; Title from caption (viewed on October 1, 2012). ; The Interagency Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance (hereafter referred to as the Task Force) was created in 1999 to coordinate the activities of federal agencies in addressing antimicrobiala resistance (AR) in recognition of the increasing importance of AR as a public health threat. The Task Force is co-chaired by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and also includes the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), the Department of Agriculture (USDA), the Department of Defense (DoD), the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (HHS/ASPR), and the Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (HHS/OASH). ; Mode of access: Internet; PDF reader (Acrobat .pdf file: 459 KB, 69 p.). ; Text (electronic publication)

Since 2002, the Interagency Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance has released an annual report on the progress towards implementation of the 2001 Action Plan to Combat Antimicrobial Resistance. The Task Force has now revised the 2001 Action Plan and a draft of the revised Action Plan was recently released and published in the Federal Register for public comment. The revised draft is available at (http://www.cdc.gov/drugresistance/index.html). Although the revised Action Plan is not final, the participating agencies are releasing this annual progress report, to provide information on Federal activities during calendar years 2009 and 2010. The revised Action Plan maintains the same four Focus Areas as the previous plan: Surveillance, Prevention and Control, Research and Product Development. Within these Focus Areas, there are a total of 11 goals: two for Surveillance, two for Prevention and Control, four for Research and three for Product Development. Further, each of the goals lists one or more Action Items that constitute the Federal government's commitment to targeted efforts to address the public health burden of antimicrobial resistance; there are a total of 53 such Action Items. Many of the Action Items also list implementation steps representing specific activities that one or more of the participating agencies will undertake to accomplish the Action Item. Most of these implementation steps are time-delimited; the planned completion date is given in parentheses as the year by which this step will be completed (indicating December 31 of that year). For example, (2011) means that the work is expected to be completed by the end of the 2011 calendar year. Other activities constitute continuing work of the agencies and are noted as "ongoing" with no set end date. The format of this report is new, and differs from updates of the previous Action Plan by providing progress descriptions that are embedded into the Action Plan. The Task Force hopes that this format is useful for the reader in understanding the Federal agencies' activities as we move toward accomplishment of the Action Plans goals. The Task Force plans to continue to provide annual updates on these Action Items and implementation steps as was done in the past. The goals, action items, and implementation steps represent current priorities based on today's science and threats to public health. Because of the rapidly evolving nature of AR, there will likely be new or emerging challenges in antimicrobial resistance subsequent to the publication of this Action Plan. The Task Force is committed to identifying and responding to these issues as they arise. Thus, the Action Items and implementation steps will be updated at least every two years and more often if circumstances require. ; Introduction -- The Focus Areas -- Focus Area I: Surveillance -- Focus Area II: Prevention and control -- Focus Area III: Research -- Focus Area IV: Product development -- Acronyms and abbreviations. ; Interagency Task Force on Antimicrobial Resistance ; co-chairs: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Food and Drug Administration, National Institutes of Health. ; 6/16/11 - date from document properites ; Participating agencies: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Department of Agriculture, Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs, Environmental Protection Agency, Health Resources and Services Administration, Health and Human Services/Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, Health and Human Services/ Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response. ; Mode of access: Internet; PDF reader (Acrobat .pdf file: 345 KB, 54 p.). ; Text (electronic publication)
