CVM Antimicrobial Stewardship in FY 2023 and Beyond

By Bill Flynn, DVM, MS, Deputy Director of FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine

Today, we kick off Antimicrobial Awareness Week, held every year from November 18-24. This recognition is a great opportunity to reflect upon what we at FDA’s Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM) are doing to address antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and preserve the effectiveness of these critical and life-saving drugs. In this post, I’m mainly going to focus on what we accomplished in FY 2023.
