Keynote panel: AMR: Tackling a silent pandemic with a one-health approach
With panelists from the CDC, USDA, IDSA, and sponsored by bioMérieux this session will explore the One Health elements that are critical to strengthening antimicrobial stewardship programs. The impact on AMR extends beyond inappropriate human use and it is important to take a One Health perspective when considering the causes and potential mitigation strategies. From the environmental perspective various sources like agriculture and healthcare create a breeding ground for antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Ensuring impact will require action throughout the AMR ecosystem by all sectors at the global, country, and organizational levels. Attendees will be left with an improved understanding of a One Health framework to stewardship and what critical elements that should be included in a framework.
