resistancebank.org, an open-access repository for surveys of antimicrobial resistance in animals

Abstract Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a growing threat to the health of humans and animals that requires global actions. In high-income countries, surveillance systems helped inform policies to curb AMR in animals. In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), demand for meat is rising, and deve...
