BookletTechnical reportRegional Legal Report on results of analysis of legislation relevant to antimicrobial use and antimicrobial resistance in the food and agriculture sector in Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan 2023
Also available in:
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health threat, that has been exacerbated by the inappropriate and excessive use of antimicrobials, especially in the human and livestock-related food-producing sectors. The Regional Legal Report presents the results of an analysis of the national legislation relevant to antimicrobial use (AMU) and AMR in the food and agriculture sector that has been conducted in Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. The document discusses the findings of the legal analysis, gives recommendations for addressing weaknesses and formulates proposals for improving existing legislation in each country, with the ultimate goal of limiting the imprudent use of antimicrobials, and therefore decreasing the spread of AMR in food and agriculture. -
MeetingMeeting documentAntimicrobial use in aquaculture and antimicrobial resistance. Report of a Joint FAO/OIE/WHO Expert Consultation on Antimicrobial Use in Aquaculture and Antimicrobial Resistance
Seoul, Republic of Korea, 13-16 June 2006
2006Also available in:
No results found.The public health hazards related to antimicrobial use in aquaculture include the development and spread of antimicrobial resistant bacteria and resistance genes, and the occurrence of antimicrobial residues in products of aquaculture. The greatest potential risk to public health associated with antimicrobial use in aquaculture is thought to be the development of a reservoir of transferable resistance genes in bacteria in aquatic environments from which such genes can be disseminated by horizont al gene transfer to other bacteria and ultimately reach human pathogens. However, a quantitative risk assessment on antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture is difficult to perform owing to lack of data and the many different and complex pathways of gene flow. -
ProjectFactsheetStrengthening National Capacities for Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) in the Livestock Sector - TCP/UKR/3702 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Antimicrobial resistance is a growing global threat Although much evolving AMR can be attributed to the use and misuse of antimicrobials in humans, the overuse of drugs in the livestock sector also jeopardizes the effective treatment of human and animal diseases There is very limited information available in Ukraine related to the use of antimicrobials in the livestock sector however, recent studies carried out by national authorities on the sale of antimicrobials for use in veterinary practice provide clear evidence of the widespread use and possible misuse of antimicrobials along the meat and dairy value chains Awareness of the threat of AMR development and spread is low among public authorities and the professionals involved in the livestock sector In addition, no efficient system exists in the country to monitor antimicrobial use ( and AMR in order to carry out the necessary risk assessments and put in place evidence based policies for AMR risk management In the light of this situation, Ukraine requested FAO assistance to enhance its capacities for antimicrobial resistance.

Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochurePuntos de referencia de políticas de resistencia a los antimicrobianos en piensos medicados 2023
Also available in:
Los puntos de referencia (PR) son orientaciones, recomendaciones o lineamientos concisos de políticas, que expresan un objetivo de medida sanitaria, o bien, una directriz técnica, para fortalecer la gestión del riesgo de RAM en las políticas nacionales de piensos medicados. Están basados en las recomendaciones establecidas en las políticas internacionales de referencia, complementadas con otros instrumentos de política que plantean objetivos con bases científicas. Los PR forman parte de la metodología “Autoevaluación nacional de capacidades existentes para contener la RAM a través de las políticas de piensos medicados y su gobernanza”, diseñada por la FAO en un trabajo conjunto con 7 países sudamericanos. -
Policy briefPolicy briefAlerta de la FAO sobre la influenza aviar - riesgo de incremento y propagación regional a través de las aves silvestres en américa latina y el caribe 2024
Also available in:
La FAO hace un llamado a aumentar la vigilancia y la preparación contra la influenza aviar (IA) durante el verano del hemisferio sur, ya que los virus H5N1, especialmente los del clado 2.3.4.4b, continúan diversificándose genéticamente y extendiéndose geográficamente en las Américas. Dada la situación actual en la región, se considera alto el riesgo de (re) introducción en los países a lo largo de los corredores migratorios de aves silvestres. Es importante destacar que la FAO recomienda a los países y territorios de América Latina y el Caribe implementar medidas reforzadas para la detección temprana, el diagnóstico, la respuesta ante brotes y la coordinación con países vecinos bajo un enfoque de Una Salud, tanto en aves silvestres y domésticas como en mamíferos.
