- “Seven decades of medical advances enabled by antibiotics are now seriously
threatened by the convergence of relentlessly rising antibiotic resistance and the
alarming and ongoing withdrawal of most major pharmaceutical companies from
the antibiotic market.” - “Our ability to respond to national security threats (e.g., bioterrorism and
pandemics) also is in serious jeopardy.” - “This policy paper summarizes the Infectious Diseases Society of America’s
(IDSA) recommendations about how best to address the synergistic crises of
rising rates of antibiotic resistance and waning approvals of new antibiotics.” - “Specific recommendations for Congress related to legislative action and funding
needs are summarized in Tables 1 and 2.” - Most of the funding request and policy recommendations in this report have not
been adopted. - Comprehensive bibliography includes 129 citations.

- “Conventional systems that use an activated sludge process are still widely
employed for wastewater treatment, mostly because they produce effluents that
meet required quality standards (suitable for disposal or recycling purposes), at
reasonable operating and maintenance costs. However, this type of treatment has
been shown to have limited capability of removing pharmaceuticals from
wastewater.”
