Antimicrobial resistance in animals

This badge has been issued for participating in the activities in the free non-accredited Antimicrobial resistance in animals course. This free course supported demonstration of the following key learning outcomes: • describe the ways in which antimicrobials are used in animals • describe the main mechanisms by which AMR in animal production systems may influence the occurrence of resistance in human pathogens, and other routes influencing the occurrence of resistant bacteria in animals and the environment • explain the consequences of resistant bacteria in animals for animal health, food production and human health • explain why monitoring AMR in food animal systems (including samples from healthy animals) is critical for tackling the AMR crisis • illustrate the links between animal health, human health and the environment in animal production systems in relation to AMR • apply scientific terminology related to AMR when explaining your current work.
