Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is considered one of the greatest threats to plant, animal and human health and food security. It exemplifies the need for an integrated One Health approach, given the horizontal transmission of resistance genes between organisms and the necessity for intersectoral interventions. In TM3, the complexity of AMR is explored, with a focus on antibiotic use in hospitals and on farms, the challenges associated with the development of new antimicrobial treatments, and AMR-related policy actions and their implementation within the Swiss context.
