US Antibiotic Importation and Supply Chain Vulnerabilities
This study found that US antibiotic importation relies on diversified global sources for FDFs but primarily on China for APIs. Policies to strengthen domestic production and diversify sourcing are critical to mitigate supply chain vulnerabilities. Improved traceability and targeted strategies for specific antibiotics are recommended to safeguard public health and national security.
