<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><b><span style="font-size:13.5pt;color:black">Abstract: </span></b></span>Today, from Ebola to MRSA, we live in a global arena focused from the one end on the equitable distribution of available antimicrobials,
and from the other on the dangers of antimicrobial overprescribing and overconsumption. Such concerns represent two sides of an aspiration to a “rational” therapeutics, in which the right drugs for the right patients are available at the right time in the
right place for the right cost. These are longstanding concerns, and this talk will trace the course of antimicrobial policy in the United States over the course of the past century, from the advent of the treatment of pneumonia with antiserum in the first
decades of the twentieth century, through the advent of antibiotics and evolving concerns over irrational therapy and antibiotic resistance in recent decades. Alternative futures – whether utopian or dystopian – have been envisioned, and alternative regulatory
policies have been chosen to promote or alter such futures, throughout the past century. In the process, the roles of patients, private practitioners, public health departments, industry, regulatory bodies, and independent national and international organizations
have been reimagined in the ongoing struggle to implement a rational therapeutics.<o:p></o:p></p>
