Antimicrobial resistance day, week, year is almost over – where are we?

The European Commission’s DG Sanco has come out with their five-year Action Plan to fight antimicrobial resistance based on 12 key actions – so where are we and where do we envisage we are going? Action 1. Strengthen the promotion of the appropriate use of antimicrobials in all Member States (MS). This is a hard one to nail down but groups such as the RUMA Alliance in the UK and now EPRUMA in the EU are calling for the same action. Vets and farmers need to listen and act. Bravo! Actio
