Last year, a small group of scientists, physicians, and public health experts gathered at
Rockefeller University for a one-day workshop to discuss the accelerating spread of
bacterial pathogens resistant to antimicrobial agents and whether multiresistant bacteria
pose a threat to public health in the United States. This report is based on the conclusions of
that workshop. After a half-century of virtually complete control over microbial disease in the

After a half-century of virtually complete control over microbial disease in the developed countries, the 1990s have brought a worldwide resurgence of bacterial and viral diseases1. An important factor in this phenomenon is the acquisition of antibiotic-resistance genes by virtually all major bacterial . . .
