Antimicrobial resistance has become an increasingly important topic globally. Every year, World Antimicrobial Awareness Week is celebrated November 18-24 to improve awareness and understanding of the issue and encourage best practices to reduce the further emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance. In 2024, the theme remains “Preventing Antimicrobial Resistance Together.”
Since its inception, the AVMA Committee on Antimicrobials (CoA) has taken the lead in overseeing and developing the AVMA’s stance on antimicrobial issues. Since CoA’s inception, AASV maintains two seats (member and alternate) on the committee to represent antimicrobial issues in swine health.
