CF Advocate Provides Testimony at Congressional Hearing on Impact of Antimicrobial Resistance

This week, we were proud to have Melanie Lawrence, an adult with cystic fibrosis, testify before a Senate subcommittee regarding the impact of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). AMR and the spread of drug-resistant superbugs can impact everyone but is particularly urgent for people with cystic fibrosis and others who face a heightened risk of chronic infections and may require routine use of antibiotics.
