Resumen
Descripción
The World Health Organization (WHO) considers antimicrobial resistance one of the top 10 global health emergencies affecting humanity; antimicrobial use in animal production is one
of its key drivers. Globally, animal production accounts for about three quarters of total antimicrobial use. In Viet Nam, approximately 2751 tonnes of antimicrobials are used in animal production annually, with pig and poultry using the highest amounts. Levels of antimicrobial resistance in foodborne zoonotic pathogens (that is, non-typhoidal Salmonella) and antimicrobial residues in food products are also high in the country.
