The
European Medicines Agency (EMA) has published recommendations to limit the
development of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) linked to the use of antibiotics
in animals, thereby minimising at source the risk of transmission of resistance
from animals to humans. The document reference is EMA/787672/2014.
The
proposed measures focus in particular on promoting the responsible use in
veterinary medicine of antibiotics that are critically important in human
medicine such as fluoroquinolones and third and fourth generation
cephalosporins.
