UC Davis Antimicrobial Stewardship

Our aim is to extend knowledge on judicious antimicrobial drug use, animal health and best management practices that reduce antimicrobial resistance. #AMR

Understanding the complex pathways between on-farm drug use and antimicrobial resistance in livestock will guide efforts to protect lives from future infections. Our research team is concluding a one year study looking at the resistance trends in bacteria from adult dairy cows.

Over the last 2 years the iAMResponsible team has hosted an online college course on #antimicrobialresistance. We wanted to share a few highlights starting with this intro to AMR from the very first lecture: https://t.co/zYsx1LDRYX

To combat #AntibioticResistance pharmacists 👩🏾‍⚕️👨🏻‍⚕️ should ONLY dispense #antibiotics when the patients have a valid prescription from a licensed doctor.

[WHO Nigeria @WHONigeria]

What is #AntimicrobialResistance (AMR) is the ability of a microorganism (like bacteria, viruses, and some parasites) to stop an antimicrobial (such as antibiotics, antivirals and antimalarials) from working against it.

Did you know that scientists have found resistant foodborne pathogens that can linger in soil for as many as 3 weeks after applying #manure #fertilizer? Another reason why good waste management is essential for meeting the #antibioticresistance challenge. https://t.co/kQnUSPBHp9

Attention all #dairy farmers! Learn more about Stowell Farms' approach to improving #herd health, and how it has reduced their #antibiotic use by 50%. While also reducing the incidence of #mastitis by more than half. #AMR #Livestock #dairycows

Using antibiotics 💊 in the ACCESS category - such as amoxicillin and cloxacillin, lowers the risk of #AntimicrobialResistance because they target a specific microorganism rather than several.
They are also less costly because they are available in generic formulations

#AntibioticResistance has been found in the digestive systems of all kinds of animals - from dogs and cats, to insects, birds, fish and livestock animals. This is why preventing infection is vital for human AND animal health worldwide. #Vaccines #biosecurity #OneHealth

[iAMR @i_AMResponsible]

Growing #AntibioticResistance impacts us all and we all have a part to play in reducing #AMR. Just like humans, animals (livestock & pets) do not always receive the right antibiotic treatment. Always talk to a vet or doctor before using antibiotics. https://t.co/xxkxiwtxDe

A new report, released by the CDC, shows major weaknesses in the meat & poultry inspection system. The USDA must rely on industry to track deadly bug in livestock & protect consumers from contaminated meat, which can lead to prolonged periods of inaction. https://t.co/NTs8heHwE6

Research is currently being done to find vaccines against superbug, Staphylococcus aureus. This research may help us stay in the fight against #AMR bacteria. https://t.co/DNDwV71PT1

Antibiotic prescribing has decreased by 5% from 2011 to 2016 in the United States. However, 30% of antibiotics prescribed today in the United States are not needed. To learn more about the current ways CDC is trying to combat #AMR follow the link. https://t.co/pkNjtedNaG
