Handle Antimicrobials with care, we can help!
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) both in human and veterinary medicine has reached alarming levels in most parts of the world and has now been recognized as a significant emerging threat to global public health and food security. In June 2015, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nati... more
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a threat to human and animal health and refers to the ability of microorganisms to defy the medicines prescribed. For instance when antibiotics are used improperly, such as an incorrect dose, insufficient duration or wrong frequency, resistance is heightened. The mi... more
Antimicrobial Resistance and our Food Systems - Challenges and Solutions
The OIE has been working on the AMR issue for a long time. In undertaking its role as a standard- setting organisation* for animal health, including zoonoses, the OIE has developed a wide range of international standards on antimicrobial agents, in particular on responsible and prudent use. The... more
Antimicrobials are widely used in food animal production, and use is rapidly increasing. In an era of growing demand for animal products, there is an increasing trend towards the industrial production of food animals, especially in lower- and middle-income countries (LMICs). One hallmark of this me... more
Uncontrolled use of antibiotics for disease control and treatment or growth stimulation in livestock, have increased resistance to antibiotics of bacteria that can reach humans through the food chain.
When an infection strikes, and medicines like antibiotics (and other antimicrobials) do not work, you can lose your entire stock of animals to disease. This also puts the health of you and your family at risk when the infection can spread between animals and people. Save lives and livelihoods by fol... more
Take Action on Antimicrobial Resistance. For Farmers
Training manual that outlines the training of smallholder farmers to improve biosecurity and practices in their farms to prevent infectious diseases and thus the need for use of veterinary drugs. Describes training sessions and includes exercises and handouts.
The extensive use of antimicrobials in human and veterinary medicine in recent years has accelerated the emergence and spread of resistant microorganisms. This situation has been worsened by the lack of investment in developing new effective antibiotics. The severity of the consequences is clear to ... more
This short paper aims to identify key evidence gaps in our knowledge of livestock- and fisheries-linked antimicrobial resistance in the developing world, and to document on-going or planned research initiatives on this topic by key stakeholders. The antimicrobial resistant (AMR) infections in anima... more

Responsible use of antibiotics in aquaculture

Hernández Serrano, P. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) (2005) C2
In aquaculture, antibiotics have been used mainly for therapeutic purposes and as prophylactic agents. The contribution to antimicrobial resistance of antibiotics used in aquaculture is reviewed here, using a risk analysis framework. Some recommendations on responsible conduct in this context are pr... more
