Antibiotic Resistance Expert Panel
The Antibiotic Resistance Expert Panel met for the first time on Monday, 18 October 2004. The meeting went very well and centered mainly on the planning and parameters of the report. The Panel is undertaking a search and review of domestic and international literature and will commence work on the initial sections of the report before the next meeting on 9 December.
The Panel will also consult with other interested parties, and NZFSA is arranging for requests to go to registrants and organisations such as the NZ Microbiological Society and the NZ Institute of Food Science & Technology, asking if they have any technically robust information available for consideration by the Panel. (If you have information and have not been contacted, email michelle.casey@nzfsa.govt.nz )
It is expected that members will consult with the Antibiotic Resistance Steering Group in April/May 2005 and that a first ‘rough’ cut of the report will be available by April.
