Of pets, vets and antimicrobials: fluoroquinolone use in dogs and resistance biology.

抗生素耐药性是当前和日益增长的威胁，与人类健康，动物福利，食品生产和环境保护有关。该项目将通过生成关于伴侣动物使用抗生素对耐药性发展和控制的作用的准确数据，为抗菌素耐药性的基础科学提供新的见解。项目的最终目标是提出建议，限制进一步阻力的产生。项目成果与人类预防性健康具有明显的相关性，这被认为是国家研究的重点。宠物的健康和福利也将得到改善，这与社区利益有关。

Antimicrobial resistance is a current and growing threat relevant to human health, animal welfare, food production, and environmental preservation. This project will provide new insights into the basic science of antimicrobial resistance, through the generation of accurate data on the role of companion animal use of antibiotics on the development and control of resistance. Ultimate project goals are to produce recommendations that limit the generation of further resistance. Project outcomes have demonstrable relevance to human preventative health, which is recognised as a national research priority. The health and welfare of pets will also be improved, which has associated community benefits.
