Summary
This international collaborative review examines antimicrobial resistance as a systems problem spanning agriculture, aquaculture, clinical medicine and environmental compartments. The paper, as suggested by its title and author composition, maps the connectivity of AMR spread across One Health sectors to identify critical transmission pathways and inform integrated governance approaches. The work reflects growing recognition that agricultural antimicrobial use, particularly in livestock and aquaculture, represents a significant driver of resistance emergence with downstream human health consequences.
UK applicability
The findings are directly applicable to UK agriculture and public health policy, particularly given intensive livestock farming and aquaculture practices in the UK. The One Health connectivity perspective supports UK regulatory approaches to antimicrobial stewardship in veterinary and agricultural settings, and informs environmental monitoring strategies for resistant pathogens in waterways.
Key measures
Interconnections and transmission pathways of antimicrobial-resistant organisms and resistance genes across One Health sectors; prevalence and distribution of AMR in agricultural, aquatic and clinical environments
Outcomes reported
The study assessed pathways and connectivity of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) transmission across One Health sectors including agriculture, aquaculture, wastewater, clinical settings and the broader environment. The research appears to evaluate evidence for how AMR disseminates between farming systems and human health.
