The Presidential Advisory Council on Combating Antibiotic-Resistant Bacteria (PACCARB) provides advice, information, and recommendations to the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS Secretary). The council supports and evaluates U.S. government activities focused on fighting antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human health, animal health, and environmental health. Using this One Health approach, members of the PACCARB have expertise from a range of backgrounds, including academia, industry, public health, advocacy, veterinary, and agricultural production.
The PACCARB was established under Executive Order 13676 and included in the Pandemic and All-Hazards Preparedness and Advancing Innovation Act of 2019 (PAHPAIA). Since 2019, the President has given authority to the HHS Secretary as the primary recipient of PACCARB recommendations. Additional information on the authority and activities of the PACCARB can be found on the About Us page in the charter.
As a federal advisory committee, the PACCARB looks to engage with the public and all AMR stakeholders. The council holds several public meetings every year both in-person and live streamed on the HHS.gov website. These meetings are open to anyone with an interest in combating AMR. See how to get involved!

To provide a public comment or opinion to the council, send an email to CARB@hhs.gov or check out the Meetings page for more information.
Public meetings are a great venue for industry start-ups to join the Innovation Spotlight session to share their advancements and challenges. Be sure to register in advance.
If you would like to share your experience as a patient or person impacted by antimicrobial resistant bacteria or fungi, we would love to hear your story. Send us an email at CARB@hhs.gov.
For anyone wanting to stay connected with PACCARB updates and upcoming meetings, please email CARB@hhs.gov with the subject line “Friends of PACCARB” to be added to our mailing list.
