33. SOUNDBITE ( ENGLISH) Dr. Juan Lubroth, FAO’s Chief Veterinary Officer, “ Antimicro-bial resistance is important for human medicine as well as veterinary medicine. However, it al-so occurs in our food system because of the overuse, misuse or abuse of antimicrobials in or-der to either get additional profit, produce more food, the use of medicated feed because the good production practices or the hygiene is not followed, so the risks are great under unsani-tary conditions. So famers or veterinarians or whomever will use antibiotics to cover that and it’s inappropriate.”

34. SOUNDBITE ( ENGLISH) Dr. Juan Lubroth, FAO’s Chief Veterinary Officer, “ Antimicro-bials used in the aqua settings certainly will have their effect directly where that pond is but then it becomes diluted and other parts become contaminated and that is quite dangerous and promotes more antimicrobials resistance, particularly because it gets away from that pond that you are trying to treat, there is subtherapeutic levels of that drug and that stimulates more anti-microbial resistance.”

Black frame

35. SOUNDBITE ( ENGLISH) Dr. Juan Lubroth, FAO’s Chief Veterinary Officer, “I think there is one of the major challenges in addressing antimicrobial resistance is the good practices in antimicrobial or the right type of following the prescriptions that are being given what’s on the package level; the awareness, the training, not only from the famer or user but also from the profession, from the physicians, veterinarians, pharmacists, agronomists that are using these medicines. So it’s the communication, it’s the awareness.”

Script Mounting evidence that food systems may be major conduits of anti-microbial resistance (AMR) points to the need for greater vigilance over the way antibiotics are used on farms.

AMR occurs when microorganisms develop resistance to antimicrobials, making illnesses in humans and animals harder to treat. Overuse and misuse of antimicrobials in both, as well as in plants, are causing an increase in cases of AMR globally.

When occurring in farm animals, where farmers often routinely give antibiotics to their livestock, such resistance can be transferred to humans through the food chain or other routes.

Alternatives to antibiotics to enhance animal health - including enhanced vaccination programmes - should be more vigorously pursued.

Antimicrobial residues in the environment, especially in water sources, should be tracked in the same way as other hazardous substances.

This week is recognized as World Antibiotic Awareness Week. It is promoted by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE). The tripartite group has jointly reiterated its strong commitment to supporting worldwide efforts to curbing the effects of AMR.

The FAO-OIE-WHO collaboration hopes to consolidate efforts to support the establishment of policies and institutional and regulatory frameworks to combat AMR across the globe.

The agencies aim to raise awareness about the effects of AMR on humans, animals and the environment, focusing on encouraging public and animal health professionals, including pharmacists and veterinarians, to prescribe or dispense antibiotics more cautiously.
