Summary

A global strategy is needed to combat rising antimicrobial resistance through surveillance and monitoring in humans and animals. Banning growth-promoting antimicrobials and prioritizing research are crucial steps.

Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Public Health
  • Veterinary Medicine

Background:

  • Increasing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a significant global health threat.
  • The interconnectedness of human and animal health necessitates a unified approach to AMR.
  • Current strategies require enhancement to effectively monitor and control AMR.

Framework:

  • Develop a comprehensive global or European strategy for antimicrobial resistance.
  • Implement robust surveillance systems for AMR in both human and animal populations.
  • Focus animal surveillance on zoonotic pathogens and resistance gene transfer to humans.

Implementation:

  • Establish clinically relevant surveillance for human AMR.
  • Mandate rational antibiotic therapy guidelines and hospital-based 'antibiotic teams'.

  • Immediately ban the use of feed additive, growth-promoting antimicrobials in food-producing animals.
  • Implications:

    • Strengthened control of antimicrobial resistance through coordinated surveillance and policy.
    • Reduced risk of zoonotic disease transmission and AMR spread.
    • Prioritization of research and adequate financing for AMR intervention strategies.
