SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background

    FDA is announcing the availability of a guidance for industry 
entitled ``Microbiology Data for Systemic Antibacterial Drugs--
Development, Analysis, and Presentation.'' The purpose of this guidance 
is to assist sponsors in the development, analysis, and presentation of 
microbiology data during antibacterial drug development. Microbiology 
data provide important information to guide clinical development of 
antibacterial drugs and guide clinicians on the use of an antibacterial 
drug for its intended indication.
    This guidance finalizes the draft guidance issued on September 17, 
2009

[[Page 58942]]

(74 FR 47804). After consideration of comments received in response to 
the draft guidance, the guidance was restructured to describe general 
approaches to microbiology data collection in the body of the guidance 
and to provide more specific recommendations in appendixes (e.g., the 
format for microbiology data presentation and an example for sections 
of labeling that pertain to microbiology).
    This guidance is being issued consistent with FDA's good guidance 
practices regulation (21 CFR 10.115). The guidance represents the 
current thinking of FDA on the development, analysis, and presentation 
of microbiology data for systemic antibacterial drugs. It does not 
establish any rights for any person and is not binding on FDA or the 
public. You can use an alternative approach if it satisfies the 
requirements of the applicable statutes and regulations.

II. The Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995

    This guidance refers to previously approved collections of 
information found in FDA regulations. These collections of information 
are subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) 
under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501-3520).
    1. This guidance provides recommendations on the type of 
information to include in submissions of the clinical microbiology 
section of investigational new drug applications (INDs) and new drug 
applications (NDAs) for systemic antibacterial drugs. The microbiology 
section of an NDA is required under 21 CFR 314.50(d)(4) and this 
information collection is approved under OMB control number 0910-0001. 
For INDs, this information is required under 21 CFR 312.23(a) and 
approved under OMB control number 0910-0014.
    2. This guidance also recommends the types of data that should be 
submitted in a labeling supplement to update the microbiology 
information in approved labeling if an application holder chooses to 
update this information without relying on a standard recognized by 
FDA. The submission of labeling supplements is required under 21 CFR 
314.70(b)(2)(v) and 201.56(a)(2) and this information collection is 
approved under OMB control numbers 0910-0001 and 0910-0572, 
respectively.
    3. Appendix D of this guidance describes the content of the 
Microbiology subsection of labeling. This labeling is covered under 21 
CFR 201.57(c)(13)(i) and the information collection is approved under 
OMB control number 0910-0572.
    4. This guidance also references the guidance for industry entitled 
``Updating Labeling for Susceptibility Test Information in Systemic 
Antibacterial Drug Products and Antimicrobial Susceptibility Testing 
Devices'' for updating labeling information. The information collection 
in this guidance has been approved under OMB control number 0910-0638.
