Abstract
Singleton and colleagues publish in Nature Communications an intervention study to reduce antimicrobial usage in companion animal practice. They identify significant reductions in antimicrobial usage with their more active intervention group over approximately a 6-month period. The study offers an exciting way forward to explore further the trial interventions and assess alternative methods to improve antimicrobial stewardship in veterinary practice.
Highlights
Antimicrobial stewardship in veterinary practice It is important that veterinarians use the right type of AM, at the correct dose, at the right time: a concept known as AM stewardship
AM stewardship is an important plank in the fight against Antimicrobial resistance (AMR), and central to this stewardship is the need for clear guidelines on AM usage
In companion animal veterinary medicine, a major UK-focused initiative launched by the British Small Animal Veterinary Association (BSAVA) developed guidelines within the PROTECT ME
