Thank you, @RepMcGovern for your leadership and the dedication you show for all people with cystic fibrosis. We must #PassPASTEUR to address antimicrobial resistance and bring effective options into the hands of those who need them most.

As co-chair of the bipartisan, bicameral Cystic Fibrosis Caucus, it was an honor to welcome @RobGronkowski to the Valley Fever Task Force briefing on antimicrobial resistance. Glad to do the important work of raising awareness about these rare diseases with a former Patriot!

Antimicrobial resistance is a public health crisis and if left unaddressed, could one day become our next pandemic. The #PASTEURAct is a bipartisan, bicameral solution that brings together the public & private sectors to develop novel antibiotics. More: ferguson.house.gov/news/docu…

Check out the new op-ed by @RachelKingBio in @thehill on the global rise of #antimicrobialresistance and how the recently reintroduced #PASTEUR Act can help- thehill.com/opinion/congress…

Congress just made strides toward combating superbugs. Now, let’s cross the finish line

A bipartisan group of House and Senate lawmakers just proposed legislation that would address a pressing public health crisis: antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Passing the bill, known as the PASTEUR…

“Antibiotics aren’t just important tools in a #publichealth emergency, they’re also vital to our country’s national security”. Great initiative by @pewtrusts, spotlighting the need to combat antibiotic resistance and to include the #PASTEURAct in PAHPA reauthorization.

#Congress should address the growing threat that #antibiotic resistance poses to public health and safety and include the #PASTEUR Act in the PAHPA reauthorization,@pewhealth's David Hyun, MD, writes. thehill.com/opinion/national…
Why antibiotics should be treated as a national security imperative

Why antibiotics should be treated as a national security imperative

Unfortunately, when it comes to antibiotics, U.S. preparedness does not meet the magnitude of the threat.

We applaud the Administration and Congress for enacting the #InflationReductionAct. This law makes #Medicare coverage much more affordable for people with CF and extends critical tax credits for people who rely on #ACA marketplace coverage. #CFAdvocacy on.cff.org/PPC-Statement

COVID-19 setback our progress on antimicrobial resistance and led to a 15% increase in hospital infections. Without action, AMR could become the leading cause of death globally. My PASTEUR Act with @SenToddYoung would help address this to prevent the next public health crisis.

The coronavirus pandemic caused a surge in superbug infections and deaths in U.S. hospitals, reversing years of progress fighting one of the gravest public health challenges in modern medicine, according to a new analysis by the CDC. wapo.st/3c8u23s

Pandemic fueled surge in superbug infections and deaths, CDC says

Sicker patients, antibiotic overuse, and staff and equipment shortages led to a 15 percent increase in superbug infections and deaths.

#AntimicrobialResistance is a growing global health risk as viruses & other diseases are increasingly resistant to drugs & antibiotics. My bill, the PASTEUR Act, would make the investments needed to ensure the medicines needed to avoid a public health crisis are developed.

Addressing #antimicrobial resistance before the threat escalates would save the world an immense amount of money and lives, according to @apmcdonnell and Jim O’Neill via @Telegraph: ow.ly/v91i50JE2TA
Superbugs could cause a disaster worse than Covid if we don’t act

#AntimicrobialResistance is rising. At today's @EnergyCommerce markup, I spoke in support of HR 3932, the PASTEUR Act, which would promote the development of new antibiotics. We need to make this investment now to save lives in the years to come. youtu.be/4YGTgXJNetY
