FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2
PEW II: APUA IS CONSTANTLY RAISING AWARENESS ON REGULATIONS AND GUIDANCES AS REQUESTED, IN APUA'S NEWSLETTER, PRESS RELEASES AND WEBSITE. THE ORGANIZATION WAS ASKED BY PEW TO GENERATE QUALITY COMMENTS (MINIMUM OF 25 ON PROHIBITING EXTRALABEL USE OF CEPHALOSPORINS) ON INJUDICIOUS USE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN FOOD ANIMAL PRODUCTION. APUA GATHERED 32 SCIENTIFIC COMMENTS FOR THE CEPHALOSPORIN BAN. PEW ALSO ASKED APUA TO GENERATE SCIENTIFIC COMMENTS FOR GUIDANCE 209 AND ANY OTHER GUIDANCE OR REGULATION THAT WOULD BETTER CONTROL THE USE OF THESE DRUGS ON INDUSTRIAL FARMS. APUA IS CURRENTLY CONDUCTING A CAMPAIGN TO COLLECT QUALITY SCIENTIFIC COMMENTS FOR THE GUIDANCE 209, 213 AND VFD. IN PARALLEL TO THE CURRENT CAMPAIGN APUA WAS ASKED BY PEW TO CREATE A LEADERSHIP STATEMENT ON THE NON-THERAPEUTIC USE OF ANTIBIOTICS IN FOOD ANIMAL PRODUCTION AND GET 10-20 PROMINENT SCIENTISTS (NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS, PAST PRESIDENTS OF ASM) TO SIGN THE LETTER ADDRESSED TO PRESIDENT OBAMA AND FDA COMMISSIONER. APUA'S BIG TASK WAS TO CONVENE A NATIONAL STAKEHOLDER MEETING OF 25 - 30 EXPERTS IN CONJUNCTION WITH HUMAN HEALTH AND INDUSTRIAL FARMING (PEW) OR OTHER ORGANIZATIONS TO DEVELOP A PLAN FOR REDUCING THE ANTIBIOTIC USE IN FOOD ANIMAL PRODUCTION. THIS OBJECTIVE WAS CARRIED OUT SMOOTHLY ON MAY 6-7 IN WASHINGTON DC. THE GOAL OF THE MEETING WAS TO PRESENT/EVALUATE ACCEPTABLE ALTERNATIVES TO CURRENT NON-THERAPEUTIC/PREVENTIVE ANTIBIOTIC USE IN AGRICULTURE, AND IDENTIFY INCENTIVES TO FACILITATE CHANGES. THE MEETING REPORT STILL NEEDS TO BE WRITTEN. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2, NEW PROGRAM SERVICES: CDC: THE CDC FUNDED "A PUBLIC CAMPAIGN TO COMBAT ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE" INCLUDING COLLABORATION AND PUBLICITY OF "GET SMART ABOUT ANTIBIOTICS" WEEK, ICAAC RECEPTION, PRODUCTION OF SLIDE SHOWS AND FACT SHEETS ON THE ROLE OF HYGIENE, REVISION OF THE WEBSITE, ISSUING A PRESS RELEASE, CONDUCTED SCIENTIFIC INTERVIEWS, ESTABLISHED STRONGER LINKS WITH MEMBERS OF KEY HEALTH POLICY AND ADVOCACY ORGANIZATIONS, PRODUCED APUA CLINICAL NEWSLETTERS, AND EXPANDED THE APUA MAILING LIST. FORM 990, PART III, LINE 2, NEW PROGRAM SERVICES: TORK: HAND WASHING IS CONSIDERED AN IMPORTANT PUBLIC HEALTH MEASURE FOR PREVENTING AND CONTROLLING INFECTIOUS DISEASES IN THE COMMUNITY SETTING. RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT IMPROVEMENTS IN HAND WASHING PRACTICES CAN REDUCE CERTAIN INFECTIONS. AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT OF COMPLETING A PROPER HAND WASH IS DRYING THE HANDS AFTERWARDS. ALTHOUGH THE WASHING PART OF HAND WASHING HAS BEEN WELL STUDIED, THERE IS LESS KNOWN ABOUT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF VARIOUS DRYING PROCEDURES. THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY, FUNDED BY TORK HYGIENE PRODUCTS, WAS TO LEARN WHICH DRYING PROCEDURES ARE THE BEST FOR REDUCING BACTERIAL CONTAMINATION ON THE HANDS. THE PROCEDURES TORK WAS INTERESTED IN COMPARING WERE THE USE OF AIR DRYERS VERSUS PAPER TOWELS.
