This week is meant to raise awareness of the health risks associated with antibiotic resistance in humans, animals and the environment. Antibiotic resistance occurs when microorganisms adapt to the point that they can no longer be treated with drugs that were previously effective. At SMEC, we are currently working on several research projects to continue the promotion of antibiotic stewardship among swine veterinarians.
