Human Health Insights to Advance Antimicrobial Stewardship in Animal Agriculture

Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is a global health concern that spans human, animal, and environmental domains. As part of NIAA’s ongoing interest in AMR, this webinar and panel discussion will explore how the human health sector’s approaches to antimicrobial stewardship, surveillance, and behavior change can inform and enhance efforts in animal agriculture.

The webinar will feature a presentation from Dr. Scott Weissman discussing the history of human health stewardship and transition into animal agriculture stewardship. He was present principles in use and the context that make them meaningful, including diagnostics. Dr. Weissman’s presentation will be followed by a panel discussion with Dr. Peter Rabinowitz, Dr. Paul Pottinger, and moderated by Dr. Heather Fowler.

Attendees will receive practical insights from public health and discussion topics will include opportunities for cross-sector collaboration. This session aims to foster dialogue between sectors and highlight how One Health-informed strategies can accelerate progress in responsible antimicrobial use and resistance mitigation in animal agriculture.
