Task force to combat antimicrobial resistance
The joint EU-US task force will cooperate on issues concerning rational use of antimicrobials and hygiene in health care. It will attempt to find incentives to kick-start research and development of new antimicrobials. The task force will also look at the use of antimicrobials in the animal sector.
Within these areas, the task force will produce an action plan containing activities that provide added value at global level. It will also monitor activities through regular progress reports.
