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 action. In TM5, the complexity of AMR is explored, with a focus on antibiotic use in hospitals and on farms, as well as the challenges of developing alternatives to antimicrobial treatments. Participants will also learn about AMR policies and their implementation in Switzerland.
Day 1: AMR epidemiology and surveillance in Switzerland
