Pets and AMR
"To date, most veterinary antimicrobial stewardship efforts have focused on food animal medicine, rather than companion animal medicine, since the largest volume of antimicrobials is used in animal agriculture. Importantly, however, studies increasingly recognize that resistant bacteria can be transmitted between companion animals, such as dogs and cats, and their human owners, and that pets can act as a reservoir for multidrug-resistant organisms that affect human health"
