The Agency, as the national reference laboratory for antimicrobial resistance, will also present the results of the European monitoring plan.
At the end of the morning, the presentation of ANSES’s opinion on antimicrobial resistance in the environment will present the conclusions of this scientific expert report, with new insights into the contamination of environments by antibiotics and resistant pathogenic bacteria and understanding the mechanisms of development of antibiotic resistance in the latter.
This scientific meeting is part of the implementation of the interministerial roadmap adopted on November 18, 2016, which aims to strengthen and coordinate efforts to fight more effectively once morest antibiotic resistance in human and non-human sectors. Through this meeting, ANSES wishes to contribute to informing and mobilizing the actors concerned, whether they are scientists, decision-makers or professionals in the field, around this issue, in order to explore new actions to improve the use of antibiotics in veterinary medicine and limit their impact.
