Did you know that 35% of dog and cat dental procedures were prescribed an antibiotic? Some prescriptions might be unnecessary. Data were presented by researchers Dr. Jennifer Granick and Emma Bollig last month at the 8th International Society for Companion Animal Infectious Diseases Symposium.

Do you have a personal or professional story about antibiotics or #antimicrobialresistance? If so, you are not alone. In the U.S., more than 2.8 million people will get an antibiotic-resistant infection, and more than 35,000 will die as a result. Read stories from veterinarians, patients, physicians, researchers, livestock producers, and more about how the overuse of antibiotics has impacted their lives. #USAAW24 #BeAntibioticsAware z.umn.edu/onehealthstories

Do you or your pet have leftover antibiotics or medications? Don't flush them down the toilet or drain or throw them in the trash. They end up contaminating our natural waterways. Dispose unused medications in a drop box at a pharmacy or law enforcement center.

Cleaning up a pet's diarrhea is never fun. Our #AntimicrobialRestance and Stewardship Initiative team encourages you to learn about non-antibiotic therapies for diarrhea in pets in a newly developed video. #USAAW24 #WAAW24 z.umn.edu/ARSI

We invite you to join us on Wednesday, November 20, 2024, from noon–1 p.m. for an insightful panel session titled “Climate Change and One Health.” This event will feature esteemed faculty from the University of Minnesota: Matthew Aliota, PhD - University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine Alexandra Zachwieja, PhD - University of Minnesota Medical School, Duluth Campus, Kyle X. Hill, PhD, MPH - School of Public Health, Kent Reed, MS, PhD (Moderator) - College of Veterinary Medicine. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with experts on this relevant topic as we explore the critical intersections of climate change and health through a One Health lens.

Everyone has a role in fighting antimicrobial resistance, and our Antimicrobial Resistance and Stewardship Initiative team (arsi.umn.edu) is proud to be a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention #BeAntibioticsAware partner for U.S. Antibiotic Awareness Week. Working together through a One Health approach, we must improve antibiotic prescribing and invest in infection prevention actions across human health, animal health, plant health, and the environment. #USAAW24
