Animal Antibiotics

Veterinarians Work with Doctors to Fight Antibiotic Resistance

Antibiotics are a cornerstone of modern medicine. However, unnecessary use can lead to ‘resistant’ bacterial infections where antibiotics may no longer work. It is a challenge that cuts across human, environmental, and animal health and requires action in all domains.

By taking a One Health approach to antibiotic resistance, the global animal health industry has made significant progress in its efforts to reduce the need for antibiotics. One Health recognizes that the health of people is closely connected to the health of animals and our shared environment. Factors such as changes in population, climate challenges, and evolving land use have made One Health increasingly important.

The animal health industry is delivering new tools that reduce the likelihood of human exposure to resistant pathogens, including:

  • Animal vaccines address zoonotic public health threats like salmonella, coli, and campylobacter.
  • Nutritional products improve gut health and defend against zoonotic pathogens.
  • Improved diagnostic tests more accurately detect bacterial infections, which can lead to swift treatment.
  • When antibiotics are needed, sensitivity tests help reduce the risk of resistance.
  • Our industry is actively promoting judicious use practices to help veterinary professionals choose therapies that reduce the risk of resistance.
