COST Action CA18217 – European Network for Optimization of Veterinary Antimicrobial Treatment
The global antimicrobial resistance crisis has been the driver of several international strategies on antimicrobial stewardship. Despite their good intentions, such broad strategies are only slowly being implemented into “real life”. This is particularly unfortunate for veterinary medicine, which is challenged by a shortage of experts in key disciplines related to antimicrobial stewardship, few antimicrobial treatment guidelines, and inferior diagnostic tests compared to human microbiology wirweior.
