National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria

The National Action Plan for Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (NAP CARB) is a US government initiative aimed at addressing the growing problem of antibiotic resistance. This plan focuses on improving monitoring of antibiotic use and resistance patterns, enhancing prevention strategies, promoting research for new treatments, and encouraging public awareness. By coordinating efforts among health agencies, healthcare providers, and communities, the plan seeks to reduce infections caused by antibiotic-resistant bacteria, safeguard public health, and ensure that antibiotics remain effective for future generations.
