Description : This PIN is to highlight that the Veterinary Medicine Directorate (VMD) wishes to undertake research to develop and pilot different approaches to surveillance for antibiotic resistance in companion animals and equines in the UK. The aim of the project will inform representative UK-wide surveillance of antibiotic resistance in commensal bacteria carried by companion animal and equine populations (to include dogs, cats, and horses).Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top global public health threats. While it refers to the ability of any microbe to resist pharmaceutical treatment, this call focuses on antibiotic resistance in bacteria, specifically. Surveillance is essential to detect emerging AMR issues, monitor trends, and identify and assess the impact of interventions. In the UK, AMR surveillance is well established in livestock sectors, with programmes for both representative surveillance in healthy animals entering the food chain, and clinical surveillance conducted on-farm, in place. However, despite the close proximity between companion animals and equines with their owners and handlers, and the potential for AMR transmission between them, AMR surveillance in these se... - Documents :
