Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a serious public health concern and one of the most important health challenges in the 21st century. Current approaches to understanding the risks to public health (PH) associated with AMR include the use of risk assessment (RA) methods. It is of relevance to understand the scientific evidence available and how this potential PH risk has been systematically evaluated. This scoping review will aim at: (i) identifying and describing the existing literature that used RA methods to evaluate the PH risk related to AMR bacteria from poultry, cattle and pigs; and (ii) identifying and discussing any research gaps related to the use of RA methodologies for assessing the PH risk arising from resistant bacteria of livestock origin.
The protocol of this scoping review is available below.
