Evaluation of guidelines on antimicrobials use in food-producing animals: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global public health problem due to misuse/overuse of antimicrobials. The interplay between humans, animals, and the environment requires a One Health approach for effective AMR control. We focused this research on antimicrobial use in food-producing animals (bovine, caprine, equine, ovine, and swine) to assess the compliance of Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries (members, partners, and candidates) with international guidelines: Codex Alimentarius: Code of Practice to Minimize and Contain Foodborne Antimicrobial Resistance, and the Terrestrial Animal Health Code.

Methods

For this systematic review (PROSPERO CRD42024535461), between February 1 and June 30 of 2024, guidelines were searched on:
