FEATURED ALERT
Tell Congress to Pass the STAAR Act!
The Strategies to Address Antimicrobial Resistance Act is urgently needed.
Representative Jim Matheson (D-UT) introduced the Strategies to Address Antimicrobial Resistance (STAAR) Act (H.R. 2400) on May 13, 2009. IDSA has enthusiastically endorsed this important legislation and the comprehensive and strategic approaches it employs to tackle the problem of antimicrobial resistance. The STAAR Act provides important solutions to contain the spread of antimicrobial-resistant "bad bugs" through better overall coordination and funding of federal activities. The STAAR Act will strengthen federal antimicrobial resistance surveillance, prevention and control, and research efforts as well as enhance the collection of critical information on the use of antibiotics in humans and animals.
