AMR surveillance in livestock – the Private Labs Initiative

In collaboration with the Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD), APHA is working with diagnostic laboratories to better understand antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in the livestock sector. Better surveillance data means we can act smarter to tackle AMR. Now, we need your help to improve AMR data across GB. If you are a livestock vet with in-house culture or mastitis diagnostics, we want to hear from you.

Read more about the initiative in our recent Vet Record article: Sharpening our focus on AMR in livestock: the Private Laboratories Initiative.

Contact AMR.Data@apha.gov.uk to contribute data and/or bacterial isolates.
