AGROALNEXT GANARAM Project: Livestock production systems in Aragon and Antimicrobial Resistance affecting human health

“As little as possible and as much as necessary” is the premise that the European Union promotes regarding the prudent use of antibiotic treatments in animals through its “One Health” action plan, which closely monitors antimicrobial resistance in the veterinary sector. Although the use of antibiotics in food-producing animals has decreased in recent years, a link has been demonstrated between antibiotic consumption in animals and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria shared in the various microbiomes of animals, humans, and the environment.
