In his presentation, the speaker will
- provide an overview of the current state of the antimicrobial resistance (AMR) problem, which is becoming a global threat to human and animal health;
- tell about the history of antibiotics discovery and their key role in the fight against infectious diseases;
- explain the reasons for the growth of antimicrobial resistance in livestock farming and describe the forecast of this problem.
Oleksandr Revnivtsev emphasises the importance of proper use of antibiotics in agriculture:
‘The discovery of antimicrobials was one of the most important achievements in the history of medicine. However, their incorrect or excessive use poses a serious risk to all of us. The resistance of microorganisms to antibiotics means that infections that were previously thought to be under control can become deadly again. It is extremely important to pay attention to the proper use of antimicrobials in all industries, including livestock.’
