Antimicrobial resistance in veterinary medicine from the perspective of the one health approach

Resumo

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing challenge in global health, driven by the inappropriate use of antibiotics in veterinary medicine, especially in intensive production systems. Production and companion animals can act as reservoirs of resistant bacteria, favoring transmission to humans and the environment. The One Health approach integrates human, animal, and environmental health, highlighting the need for continuous surveillance, effective public policies, and the rational use of antimicrobials. Measures such as biosecurity, professional education, and therapeutic alternatives are essential to mitigate AMR and preserve the effectiveness of treatments.
