Innovative Nuclear and Related Molecular Approaches for Detection and Characterization of Antimicrobial Resistance in Animal Production Environment

The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) is calling on research organisations to join its new five year the coordinated research project (CRP) on “Innovative Nuclear and Related Molecular Approaches for Detection and Characterization of Antimicrobial Resistance in Animal Production Environment”.

The CRP will help develop validated/harmonized protocols for sampling and analysis of farm environment samples, distribution characteristics of drug resistance among infectious agents affecting livestock, scientific data on performance of candidate alternative substances to antibiotic growth promotors in animal production and strategies/guidelines on optimal husbandry practices that improve biosecurity and mitigate AMR in animal farm premises.
