Key questions for discussion
We're looking for comments on the proposed antimicrobial drugs to be included in the reserve list. We're also seeking feedback on other antimicrobial drugs that we're considering including in the reserve list.
When drafting your comments, ask yourself:
- Do you agree with the antimicrobial drugs proposed for the reserve list?
- Should other antimicrobial drugs be added to the reserve list and why?
- Should any of the proposed antimicrobial drugs be removed from the reserve list and why?
Important: Please give your rationale and provide supporting evidence.
We're making the reserve list available for the 60-day public consultation period. We will consider the input gathered through the consultation when we finalize the reserve list.
