This AAP finding comes just as the United Nations (UN) held its second <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news-room\/events\/detail\/2024\/09\/26\/default-calendar\/un-general-assembly-high-level-meeting-on-antimicrobial-resistance-2024\">High-Level Meeting on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)<\/a>\u202fon September 26 (the first was held in 2016) at which <a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news\/item\/26-09-2024-world-leaders-commit-to-decisive-action-on-antimicrobial-resistance\">global leaders committed<\/a> \u201cto a clear set of targets and actions, including reducing the estimated 4.95 million human deaths associated with bacterial antimicrobial resistance (AMR) annually by 10% by 2030.\u201d<\/p>\r\n<p>The release from the UN, \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/news\/item\/26-09-2024-world-leaders-commit-to-decisive-action-on-antimicrobial-resistance\">World leaders commit to decisive action on antimicrobial resistance<\/a>,\u201d states, \u201dThe Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fao.org\/home\/en\">FAO<\/a>), the United Nations Environment Programme (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unep.org\/\">UNEP<\/a>), the World Health Organization (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.who.int\/home\">WHO<\/a>) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.woah.org\/en\/home\/\">WOAH<\/a>), known as the Quadripartite, welcome the declaration. The Quadripartite applauds countries for recognising the need for global, regional and national efforts to address AMR through a One Health approach, which recognizes that the health of people, animals, plants and the wider environment, including ecosystems, are closely linked and interdependent.\u201d Inger Andersen, executive director of UNEP, said, \u201cToday\u2019s declaration recognises this need, and UNEP will continue to be at the forefront of efforts to reduce the burden of AMR on societies and tackle the triple [human health, agriculture and animal health, and environment] planetary crisis.&#8221;<\/p>\r\n<p>The AAP report also discusses the need for U.S. initiatives to curb unnecessary use of antimicrobial agents in agriculture. The technical report <em>Use of Antibiotics in Animal Agriculture: Implications for Pediatrics<\/em>, from the AAP Committee on Infectious Diseases and the Council on Environmental Health and Climate Change, is available online and is published in the October issue of Pediatrics. Thus, the AAP joins others in urging support for \u201cpolicies that strengthen oversight of antimicrobial use and require tracking and reporting of antibiotic use and resistance across human, animal, plant and environmental sectors.\u201d\u00a0<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fclick.everyaction.com%2Fk%2F94327183%2F503224089%2F1743147052%3Fcontactdata%3DqhODFQHgz7JO7bduaxzhVknn86YOvcOPexYP4ExJ2iFKBlhF12gge4FpOgho3z3w%2FZOcpnqoyzjVRkXn0T6N3YFTQ0TwE6WJPxN0G3JyZiwDbiZycyNC8JwCnyDIqF6CnwXoXWlvdsGSIn3K1NbFOfPj4BRFFhaYb24VTt3u7X6y6rUOOIgFPz9fRyKbUZKr4wr5yW5dt5vOwH4xja1CiJYiYCydyA79YDz14vm2RLiIcolYsJNqdgYmwJpYtpWBfQBanrqc8ApezW59UTZ5Hw%3D%3D%26nvep%3Dew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwMy8xLzcyMjM2IiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlkIjogIjhlMTRlMjE5LTIyODMtZWYxMS04NDc0LTYwNDViZGE4YWFlOSIsDQogICJFbWFpbEFkZHJlc3MiOiAiZHRvaGVyQGJleW9uZHBlc3RpY2lkZXMub3JnIg0KfQ%253D%253D%26hmac%3D_YrWvWoFQtxfDBD-SKAUBTo-K9iDwS_7bxxmBcs2USA%3D%26emci%3D20c1c419-8182-ef11-8474-6045bda8aae9%26emdi%3D8e14e219-2283-ef11-8474-6045bda8aae9%26ceid%3D76623&amp;data=05%7C02%7CJFeldman%40beyondpesticides.org%7C9fef4440cd6040f9e47108dce5465469%7Cc752d38fe68a46fc83ee8e12479e74ad%7C0%7C0%7C638637337462928257%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C4000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=TeNceQ%2BNmRtQJZg2JzZ4iD6eoRrOquACO%2B26KS5VvLo%3D&amp;reserved=0\">&gt;&gt; Tell the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Congress to save antibiotics for important medical uses and eliminate use as pesticides.<\/a><\/strong><br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAccording to a 2021 article in <em>Current Research in Microbial Sciences<\/em>, \u201cAntibiotic resistance in agriculture: Perspectives on upcoming strategies to overcome upsurge in resistance,\u201d the leading consumers of antibiotics in developed countries are U.S. consumers. So, it would appear that the U.S. population may have the most to lose from antibiotic resistance. As Beyond Pesticides has previously covered, a report evaluating 204 countries published by the University of Washington&#8217;s Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation, \u201cGlobal burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance in 2019: a systematic analysis,\u201d generated the following statistics:<\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n\t<li><strong>13.66 million people who died<\/strong> globally had sepsis as an immediate cause of death or in the chain of events leading to their death (intermediate cause).<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>4.95 million people who died<\/strong> in 2019 suffered from drug-resistant infections, such as lower respiratory, bloodstream, and intra-abdominal infections.<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>1.27 million deaths<\/strong> in 2019 were directly caused by AMR [antimicrobial resistance].<\/li>\r\n\t<li><strong>1 in 5 people who died from AMR was a child under 5 years old<\/strong>, often from previously treatable infections.\u00a0<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p>According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the U.N., the Global Research on Antimicrobial Resistance study found, \u201cIf action is not taken, the rise of AMR cumulatively may result in over 3.4 trillion USD loss in the world&#8217;s annual gross domestic product (GDP) in ten short years.<\/p>\r\n<p>A 2020 scientific peer-reviewed article in<em> Revista Panamericana de Salud Publica<\/em> (<em>Pan American Journal of Public Health<\/em>)\u2014a publication of the Pan American Health Organization,\u202f&#8221;From environment to clinic: the role of pesticides in antimicrobial resistance,&#8221; finds the following: \u201cAvailable evidence suggests that the natural environment may be a key dissemination route for antibiotic-resistant genes. Understanding the interrelationship of soil, water, and pesticides is fundamental to raising awareness of the need for environmental monitoring programs and overcoming the current crisis of AMR.\u201d\u202f\u202f\u00a0 <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nReAct, an independent worldwide network focused on antibiotic resistance founded in 2005, has characterized the problem from perspectives around the world, \u201c[A]ntibiotic resistance is here now and is a global leading cause of suffering and unnecessary loss of lives across the world. The global response must finally start to reflect this fact.\u201d\u00a0<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nNot all antimicrobial pesticides are registered for their antimicrobial action. For example, the herbicides glyphosate, 2,4-D, and dicamba are able to create resistance in <em>Salmonella<\/em> and <em>E. coli<\/em>. From another health perspective, antimicrobial pesticides may negatively affect the gut microbiome, which is essential for human nutrition and immune system function. Health advocates maintain that EPA must cease registration of pesticides with antimicrobial effects (or potential antimicrobial effects) in human pathogens or beneficial human microbiota.\u00a0 <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe researchers and agencies raising the alarm exhibit a higher degree of concern about antimicrobial resistance\u2014understood as a growing worldwide pandemic\u2014than the history and ongoing inaction by EPA\u2014resulting in the allowance of widespread nonmedical uses of antibiotics in agriculture and on synthetic (or artificial) turf. Contrary to broad scientific understanding, EPA told a federal appeals court, \u201cThere is no data that antibiotic use in agriculture leads to the presence of antibiotic resistance in bacteria of human health concern,\u201d and that \u201c[a]t the present time, there is little evidence for or against the presence of microbes of human health concern in the plant agricultural environment.\u201d\u00a0 <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nEPA&#8217;s inaction, despite the agency&#8217;s sponsoring of research that confirms the spread of antibiotic resistance to humans from horizontal gene transfer in the environment, only adds to the problem. As drug resistance has been documented as being on the rise for years, EPA&#8217;s response, or lack thereof, has been increasingly apparent. In one case, as previously reported by Beyond Pesticides, \u201cThe agency failed to assess the efficacy of any pesticides that are not used for public health purposes; EPA only evaluated the efficacy of antimicrobial compounds whose use patterns classify them as human-health-related\u2014thus ignoring the impact of other antimicrobial pesticides on resistance in human pathogens.\u201d\u202f\u202f\u00a0 <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nDespite litigation and copious studies, there is a growing crisis in health care due to drastic increases in antibiotic resistance. Nonorganic agricultural practices, which utilize antibiotics in crop and livestock production, exacerbate this major health issue by also applying harmful pesticides that promote antibiotic resistance genes in bacteria. In addition, use of antimicrobial pesticides harms the beneficial microbiota in the soil as well as in humans. Despite resistance on many farms that have led to harm and collapse, there are organic methods that offer a path forward. The foundation of all organic land management systems starts in the soil, which highlights the importance of promoting healthy soil and the microorganisms within it.\u00a0 <br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fclick.everyaction.com%2Fk%2F94327192%2F503224095%2F1743147052%3Fcontactdata%3DqhODFQHgz7JO7bduaxzhVknn86YOvcOPexYP4ExJ2iFKBlhF12gge4FpOgho3z3w%2FZOcpnqoyzjVRkXn0T6N3YFTQ0TwE6WJPxN0G3JyZiwDbiZycyNC8JwCnyDIqF6CnwXoXWlvdsGSIn3K1NbFOfPj4BRFFhaYb24VTt3u7X6y6rUOOIgFPz9fRyKbUZKr4wr5yW5dt5vOwH4xja1CiJYiYCydyA79YDz14vm2RLiIcolYsJNqdgYmwJpYtpWBfQBanrqc8ApezW59UTZ5Hw%3D%3D%26nvep%3Dew0KICAiVGVuYW50VXJpIjogIm5ncHZhbjovL3Zhbi9FQS9FQTAwMy8xLzcyMjM2IiwNCiAgIkRpc3RyaWJ1dGlvblVuaXF1ZUlkIjogIjhlMTRlMjE5LTIyODMtZWYxMS04NDc0LTYwNDViZGE4YWFlOSIsDQogICJFbWFpbEFkZHJlc3MiOiAiZHRvaGVyQGJleW9uZHBlc3RpY2lkZXMub3JnIg0KfQ%253D%253D%26hmac%3D_YrWvWoFQtxfDBD-SKAUBTo-K9iDwS_7bxxmBcs2USA%3D%26emci%3D20c1c419-8182-ef11-8474-6045bda8aae9%26emdi%3D8e14e219-2283-ef11-8474-6045bda8aae9%26ceid%3D76623&amp;data=05%7C02%7CJFeldman%40beyondpesticides.org%7C9fef4440cd6040f9e47108dce5465469%7Cc752d38fe68a46fc83ee8e12479e74ad%7C0%7C0%7C638637337462943467%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C4000%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=yNA9PP6xnxzho4KgPLXnrSt6GnO%2FI1nRd8bvgDYGeWQ%3D&amp;reserved=0\">&gt;&gt; Tell the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Congress to save antibiotics for important medical uses and eliminate use as pesticides.<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\r\n<p><strong>EPA Administrator Michael Regan<br \/>\r\n<\/strong>Antimicrobial resistance is rising to dangerously high levels.
