Background: Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in livestock and the environment likely contribute to the prevalence of AMR in humans with potential detrimental effects on human health. As such, annual mandatory monitoring of AMR in livestock occurs within the European Union (EU), according to harmonised methods. Extended-spectrum cephalosporins-resistant (ESC-resistant) , including extended-spectrum β-lactamases (ESBL), AmpC β-lactamases (AmpC) and carbapenemase producing , are considered of particular importance and are therefore included in the monitoring program.

- The study explores the relationship between antimicrobial use (AMU) in livestock and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in human infections in the Netherlands from 2004 to 2020.
- It finds that while AMU in livestock is decreasing, AMR among human infections is still increasing, indicating that reducing livestock AMU alone may not effectively combat AMR in humans.
- The research highlights the need for further investigation into the genetic and evolutionary factors contributing to AMR, suggesting that a broader strategy may be needed to address this public health issue.
from six European countries reveals differences in profile and distribution of critical antimicrobial resistance determinants within One Health compartments, 2013 to 2020.

BackgroundAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global threat. Monitoring using an integrated One Health approach is essential to detect changes in AMR occurrence.AimWe aimed to detect AMR genes in pathogenic and commensal collected 2013-2020 within monitoring programmes and research from food animals, food (fresh retail raw meat) and humans in six European countries, to compare vertical and horizontal transmission.
