Antimicrobial Resistance [PDF]

OECD Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Papers, 2014
The use of antimicrobials in livestock production provides a basis for improving animal health and productivity. This in turn contributes to food security, food safety, animal welfare, protection of livelihoods and animal resources. However, there is increasing concern about levels of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria isolated from human, animal ...
