Antibiotics used in human medicine are rapidly losing their effectiveness owing to an increase in resistant bacteria.
The food production chain is presumed to play a key role here, both as a reservoir for and in the formation of these resistances.
With the help of basic research and practical solutions, REDYMO - the Agroscope research programme on the ‘Reduction and Dynamics of antibiotic-resistant and persistent Microorganisms along food chains' - will provide answers.
In selected areas of food production, antibiotic-resistant bacteria and resistant biofilms are being studied with three main aims:
Aims
- To identify possible risks for humans and animals
- To develop preventive measures
- To search for solutions to reduce contamination and the spread of infection.
