EFSA – Report for 2010 on the results from the monitoring of vet medicinal product
residues in live and animal products
418,081 targeted samples were reported under
Council Directive 96/23/EC:
• 61% were analysed for veterinary drugs and
contaminants
• 0,33% non-compliant
• For antibacterials, 0.23% samples non-compliant
• Highest frequencies on non-compliant for antibacterials
were found in honey (2.9%) and rabbit meat (0.62%)
• No notable variations in the frequency of non-compliant
samples over the years

“Increasing Transmission of Antibiotic Resistance from Animals to Humans“
Frank M. Aarestrup & Niels Frimodt-Moller; Dänemark,
Mai 2011
• The importance of the animal reservoir for
emergence of AMR in bacteria in humans is difficult
to estimate.
• It still is the human usage of antibiotics which
contributes most to resistance observed in humans.
• But the contribution from animals is large and larger
than estimated just a few years ago.
• This indicates the need to implement restriction on
antimicrobial usage for both humans and animals
D.Schillinger – 4th Merial Forum 5

One Health – The view of EFPIA European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations
• Widespread over-prescription and misuse of antibiotics triggered resistance - need of new drugs
• Treatments must be affordable – few financial incentives to stimulate research
• New business model – intensifying appropriate use rather than overuse (maximising sales)
• Antimicrobials are not very profitable – treatment period only a few days
• Risk of resistance may reduce the lifecycle
• Innovation – tax credits for research, prize or award for a successfully developed drug, extension of exclusive patent rights
D.Schillinger – 4th Merial Forum 6

ESVAC
European Surveillance of Veterinary Antimicrobial Consumption

• …… Joint FAO/OIE/WHO Expert Meeting on Critically Important
Antimicrobials (Rome, November 2007)
D.Schillinger – 4th Merial Forum 10
The Dilemma: For a number of antimicrobial classes there is an overlap of the OIE and the WHO list!

AMR – Policy positions of key stakeholders (1)
11/2009 – European Commission staff working paper o Loss of efficacy of antimicrobials ‘a largely unresolved issue in
public health’
o 25,000 patients dying annually; € 1.5 billion costs; 4 Mio patients
06/2010 – Heads of Medicines Agencies (HMA) o ‘Strategic plan on antimicrobial issues’
o Most important task in vet medicine: maintaining efficacy of
antimicrobials and minimizing strategy
o Responsible use – the focus of any action minimizing AMR
o All antimicrobials classed as prescription-only medicines
o Surveys of antimicrobial consumption and resistance (human +
vet medicine)
D.Schillinger – 4th Merial Forum 11

10/2010 – Chief Veterinary Officers (CVOs) o ‘Conclusions on Antimicrobial Resistance’
o Strict enforcement of existing regulatory framework
o Minimise the use of antimicrobials as preventative treatments
o Alternative methods (vaccination, biosecurity, management)
o Discourage cascade
07/2011 – CMVP (Committee for Medicinal Products for Veterinary Use)
o ‘Strategy on antimicrobials 2011-2015’
o Confirmed the importance of effective antimicrobial treatment for
relevant indications in all species to alleviate pain and suffering
o Fluoroquinolones and 3rd & 4th generation cephalosporins should
be classed as second line antimicrobials
D.Schillinger – 4th Merial Forum 12
AMR – Policy positions of key stakeholders (2)

09/2011 – European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) o ‘Scientific opinion on the public health risks of bacterial strains
producing ESBLs and/or AmpC ß-lactamases in food-producing animals’
o Recommendation: discontinuing or restricting all use of 3rd and 4th generation of cephalosporins in all food-producing animals
o Resistance in cattle and pigs ‘very low to low’

Conclusion: The increasing resistance to antimicrobial drugs represents one of the major emerging threats to human health. To address this, a holistic approach is stressed in line with the ‘One Health’ initiative. The Commission proposes to put in place a 5-year Action Plan to fight against AMR based on 12 key actions

• Antibiotics are not ordinary products – specialists
• Promoting the prudent use in all animals is a priority
• Veterinarians around the world must prevent misuse
BVA
• The BVA’s 8-point plan for responsible use in veterinary practice
• Vet must accept constraints on the use of certain classes of AM
• Antimicrobials are a vital tool in our armoury to combat animal diseases
• One Health
IFAH

IFAH-Europe Activities and Recommendations
• The strategic and responsible use of all antimicrobial products
• Prescriptions of antimicrobial products should be made on the basis of the results of resistance testing
• The use of the ‘Cascade’ system should only be under exceptional circumstances
• Eliminating ‘off-label’ use other than according to the Cascade
• Efforts to maintain the availability of new and existing classes, products and formulations
• Support for the CVOs efforts to improve the collection of data on antimicrobial usage at farm level
• Target Pathogen Monitoring Programme
