In this issue of Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, guest editors Drs. Emily Sydnor Spivak and Sage Greenlee bring their considerable expertise to the topic of Antimicrobial Stewardship: Where We Have Come and Where We Are Going. Throughout the last decade, the field of antimicrobial stewardship has undergone exponential growth due to heightened awareness of antimicrobial use and emerging multidrug-resistant organisms. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic highlighted systemic and persistent health disparities in the United States. In this issue, top experts provide a recap of the progress made over the last decade in antimicrobial stewardship and provide direction for next steps in this ever-growing field. Contains 12 practice-oriented topics including antimicrobial stewardship and pandemic preparedness: lessons learned from COVID-19; health equity considerations; antimicrobial stewardship at transitions of care; antimicrobial stewardship in immunocompromised populations; health system and tele-antimicrobial stewardship: the role of building networks; and more. Provides in-depth clinical reviews on antimicrobial stewardship, offering actionable insights for clinical practice. Presents the latest information on this timely, focused topic under the leadership of experienced editors in the field. Authors synthesize and distill the latest research and practice guidelines to create clinically significant, topic-based reviews.

The National Strategy for Combating Antibiotic Resistant Bacteria, published in 2014, sets out a plan for government work to mitigate the emergence and spread of resistant bacteria. Direction on the implementation of this strategy is provided in five-year national action plans, the first covering 2015 to 2020, and the second covering 2020 to 2025. Combating Antimicrobial Resistance and Protecting the Miracle of Modern Medicine evaluates progress made against the national strategy. This report discusses ways to improve detection of resistant infections and estimate the risk to human health from environmental sources of resistance. In addition, the report considers the effect of agricultural practices on human and animal health and animal welfare and ways these practices could be improved, and advises on key drugs and diseases for which animal-specific test breakpoints are needed.

As of 2017, the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance continues unabated around the world, leaving devastating health and economic outcomes in its wake. Those consequences will multiply if collaborative global action is not taken to address the spread of resistance. Major drivers of antimicrobial resistance in humans have been accelerated by inappropriate antimicrobial prescribing in health care practices; the inappropriate use of antimicrobials in livestock; and the promulgation of antibiotic resistance genes in the environment. To explore the issue of antimicrobial resistance, the Forum of Microbial Threats planned a public workshop. Participants explored issues of antimicrobial resistance through the lens of One Health, which is a collaborative approach of multiple disciplines - working locally, nationally, and globally - for strengthening systems to counter infectious diseases and related issues that threaten human, animal, and environmental health, with an end point of improving global health and achieving gains in development. They also discussed immediate and short-term actions and research needs that will have the greatest effect on reducing antimicrobial resistance, while taking into account the complexities of bridging different sectors and disciplines to address this global threat. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.
