Four veterinarians join Obamas council on antibiotic resistance

October 20, 2015

Dr. Lonnie King will serve as vice chair, says council is 'poised to make some important progress.'

Last year's executive order by President Barack Obama to create a national action plan for combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria has spawned the Presidential Advisory Council on Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria. The 15-member group will advise Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell on programs and policies related to the public health threat associated with antibiotic resistance.

Dr. Lonnie KingThe council's vice chair, Lonnie J. King, DVM, MS, MPA, DACVPM, is also the chair of the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities (APLU) and Association of American Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC) Joint Task Force on Antibiotic Resistance in Production Agriculture. King says in a release, “The antibiotic resistance problem is very complex and it involves many different facets of our healthcare and food production systems. It threatens the well-being of both people and animals and it has the capacity to be very disruptive from both a public health and an economic standpoint. Given our One Health perspective, the substantial expertise of our members, and our mandate for action, I'm confident we are poised to make some important progress.”
