I'm John Farley. I'm the Acting Director 4 of what is now called the Office of Infectious 5 Diseases at the Center for Drugs here at FDA. We want 6 to welcome you to this workshop. 7 Next slide, please. 8 So I thought we might go ahead and 9 start the morning by focusing on why we're all here. 10 This is -- should look familiar to those of you who 11 have taken a look at the recent CDC AMR threats 12 report. We've had some progress from stewardship 13 efforts, but the serious public health challenge 14 continues with 2.8 million antibiotic resistant 15 infections each year and 35,000 deaths. 16 How about this? Okay. I will lean 17 forward. 18 So I want to begin the day by just 19 thanking Ed Cox for his leadership here at the agency. 20 As most of you are aware, he left government service 21 after nearly two decades, and really a steady hand and 22 focus on science and the data on his part played a key 23 www.CapitalReportingCompany.com 202-857-3376 Meeting November 19, 2019 Page 5 1 role in the progress over the last decade, making safe 2 and effective new antibacterial drugs available for 3 patients in the setting of AMR. 4 I also want to take a moment to thank 5 everybody who is sitting in this room for your 6 steadfast commitment, your innovation, your positive 7 dialogue, and your collaboration in the midst of what 8 has been a decade of scientific and economic 9 challenges. 10 So we at the agency really appreciate 11 your commitment. Cindy -- I was telling Cindy Sears 12 earlier, I come from the world of perinatal HIV where 13 I felt like we built a strong collaborative 14 partnership over time and there were major 15 accomplishments. And I feel like the dynamic is the 16 same here, and it's really an honor for those of us in 17 the agency to be part of that. 18 I thought we'd begin today by just 19 doing some brief introductions, and your disclosures 20 are already listed in the program, so you don't have 21 to provide any voluntary disclosures as you introduce 22 yourself. But maybe we'll start with Aaron and move 23 www.CapitalReportingCompany.com 202-857-3376 Meeting November 19, 2019 Page 6 1 around the table from there. 2 AARON DANE: I'm Aaron Dane.

Received: 24 September 2020; Accepted: 24 November 2020; Published: 28 November 2020 Abstract: Advances generated in medicine, science, and technology have contributed to a better quality of life in recent years; however, antimicrobial resistance has also benefited from these advances, creating various environmental and health problems. Several determinants may explain the problem of antimicrobial resistance, such as wastewater treatment plants that represent a powerful agent for the promotion of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARG), and are an important factor in mitigating the problem. This article focuses on reviewing current technologies for ARB and ARG removal treatments, which include disinfection, constructed wetlands, advanced oxidation processes (AOP), anaerobic, aerobic, or combined treatments, and nanomaterial-based treatments. Some of these technologies are highly intensive, such as AOP; however, other technologies require long treatment times or high doses of oxidizing agents. From this review, it can be concluded that treatment technologies must be significantly enhanced before the environmental and heath problems associated with antimicrobial resistance can be effectively solved.

  • Using Saccharomyces Cerevisiae for the Biosynthesis of Tetracycline Antibiotics
    Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the Biosynthesis of Tetracycline Antibiotics Ehud Herbst Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2019 © 2019 Ehud Herbst All rights reserved ABSTRACT Using Saccharomyces cerevisiae for the biosynthesis of tetracycline antibiotics Ehud Herbst Developing treatments for antibiotic resistant bacterial infections is among the most urgent public health challenges worldwide. Tetracyclines are one of the most important classes of antibiotics, but like other antibiotics classes, have fallen prey to antibiotic resistance. Key small changes in the tetracycline structure can lead to major and distinct pharmaceutically essential improvements. Thus, the development of new synthetic capabilities has repeatedly been the enabling tool for powerful new tetracyclines that combatted tetracycline-resistance. Traditionally, tetracycline antibiotics were accessed through bacterial natural products or semisynthetic analogs derived from these products or their intermediates. More recently, total synthesis provided an additional route as well. Importantly however, key promising antibiotic candidates remained inaccessible through existing synthetic approaches. Heterologous biosynthesis is tackling the production of medicinally important and structurally intriguing natural products and their unnatural analogs in tractable hosts such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Recently, the heterologous biosynthesis of several tetracyclines was achieved in Streptomyces lividans through the expression of their respective biosynthetic pathways. In addition, the heterologous biosynthesis of fungal anhydrotetracyclines was shown in S. cerevisiae. This dissertation describes the use of Saccharomyces cerevisiae towards the biosynthesis of target tetracyclines that have promising prospects as antibiotics based on the established structure- activity relationship of tetracyclines but have been previously synthetically inaccessible.

    WP6 validation on methods involving an extended audience Statistical analysis plan / data specifications The risk of acute liver injury associated with the use of antibiotics. A replication study in the Utrecht Patient Oriented Database Version: July 11, 2013 Authors: Renate Udo, Marie L De Bruin Reviewers: Work package 6 members (David Irvine, Stephany Tcherny-Lessenot) 1 1. Context The study described in this protocol is performed within the framework of PROTECT (Pharmacoepidemiological Research on Outcomes of Therapeutics by a European ConsorTium). The overall objective of PROTECT is to strengthen the monitoring of the benefit-risk of medicines in Europe. Work package 6 “validation on methods involving an extended audience” aims to test the transferability/feasibility of methods developed in other WPs (in particular WP2 and WP5) in a range of data sources owned or managed by Consortium Partners or members of the Extended Audience. The specific aims of this study within WP6 are: to evaluate the external validity of the study protocol on the risk of acute liver injury associated with the use of antibiotics by replicating the study protocol in another database, to study the impact of case validation on the effect estimate for the association between antibiotic exposure and acute liver injury. Of the selected drug-adverse event pairs selected in PROTECT, this study will concentrate on the association between antibiotic use and acute liver injury. On this topic, two sub-studies are performed: a descriptive/outcome validation study and an association study. The descriptive/outcome validation study has been conducted within the Utrecht Patient Oriented Database (UPOD).
