Monitoring antibiotic resistance
https://phys.org/news/2018-10-antibiotic-resistance_1.html
For their part of the EFFORT project, Dik Mevius and his team at Wageningen Bioveterinary Research (WBVR) coordinated the collection of samples from various animal sources (including chickens, pigs, veal calves, turkeys, wild boar, fish, companion animals and meat) in nine countries, in close collaboration with the Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences (IRAS) at Utrecht University. They also collected data on farm practices, and how farms are managed and make use of antibiotics.
This research provides important insight into country, animal sector and farm factors that affect antibiotic resistance levels. And that brings us closer to answering the question: how can we control antibiotic resistance?
