  3. R to @ECDC_EU: Resistance of #Salmonella & #Campylobacter bacteria to commonly used #antimicrobials continues to be observed frequently in humans & animals.

    However, the combined resistance to critically important antimicrobials for human medicine remains very low.

  4. Drug-resistant infection - The agricultural sector has escaped scrutiny

    "The issue of untreatable infections is no longer an abstract notion; it is now a reality."

    "The Joint Expert Advisory Committee on Antibiotic Resistance (JETACAR) said "the transfer of antibiotic-resistant bacteria along the meat chain is believed to be one of the most significant sources of antibiotic-resistant bacteria from animals", and the scientific consensus since then has only hardened."

    "For decades, the meat industry used the drugs with relative abandon. The majority of this use had been not to treat sick animals, but as a key ingredient in animal feed to promote rapid growth and act as a prophylactic."

    "JETACAR revealed two-thirds of Australia's antibiotics were being used in animals, and most of that for "subtherapeutic doses" to increase growth, prevent disease and "reduce feed requirements"."

    "It was only a few weeks ago, three years into the new strategy, that the Department of Health finally awarded a $438,000 contract to big-four consultancy KPMG for the design of the surveillance system."

  9. Exciting news! Our work at #UWindsor on a highly potent antimicrobial composite material is now a published manuscript at RSC Sustainability. This work was performed together with the Kennepohl team from #ucalgary at #canadianlightsource who helped us determine the temporal speciation of copper in our composite. #research #bionanoscience #AntiMicrobials
