2. Antimicrobial resistance – a One Health problem
Published 29 April 2021 | Updated 4 November 2024
Antimicrobial resistance is recognised as a one health problem and antibiotic use in veterinary medicine can have implications not only for antimicrobial resistance affecting our patients but also for human health and the wider environment.
