To ensure food safety for consumers while supporting stakeholders to move towards the responsible use of antimicrobials in agriculture, the FAO has put together anAMR action plan 2016-2020. One crucial approach is the responsible use of antibiotics. This is key to reversing the trend of AMR-relat...
This plan focuses on developing tools that mitigate AMR. You can find this plan and other information about AMR at the National Agricultural Library’s, Food Safety Research Information Office (FSRIO) Antimicrobial Resistance web page. FSRIO helps you stay informed about trends in AMR research ...
The urgent menace of AMR has been recognized by the World Health Organi-sation Global Action Plan in 2015 [1], the 2016 United Nations General Assembly unanimous commitment to tackle AMR [2], and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) 2017 declaration on AMR (3)AMR has been ...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) occurs when microbes (e.g. bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites) evolve in ways that reduce or eliminate the effectiveness of antimicrobial medicines (e.g. antibiotics, antivirals, antifungals and antiparasitics) to treat infections by killing or slowing microbial gro...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health challenge that requires cross-disciplinary collaboration to mitigate its impact on human health. We discuss some of the topical advances in the field, highlighting the AMR collection , which brings attent
LONDON, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- Britain's Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) announced on Thursday that the country has launched a 20-year vision and a 5-year national action plan for how it will contribute to containing and controlling antimicrobial resistance (AMR). ...
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is the ability of miroorganisms (including bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc.) to nullify the effects of antimicrobial drugs, resulting in these drugs becoming ineffective.
In addition to searching for natural alternatives to antibiotics that would not result in AMR cross-resistance, the industry introduced significant changes toward improving animal health, welfare and on-farm biosecurity. On the other hand, the customer-driven shift toward free and open-range production...
They also help prevent infections and reduce dependence on antibiotics, thereby slowing the spread of resistance, added Yukiko Nakatani, Assistant Director-General at the WHO. However, they should only be part of a global package against AMR, including “improved...
Climate change poses substantial challenges in containing antimicrobial resistance (AMR) from a One Health perspective. Using 4,502 AMR surveillance records involving 32 million tested isolates from 101 countries (1999–2022), we analyzed the impact of socioeconomic and environmental factors on AMR....
