Highlights - Indepth analysis: Stronger Bacteria. Weaker Antimicrobial - Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety 27-02-2018 05:29 PM CET Stronger Bacteria. Weaker Antimicrobial, The fight against antimicrobial resistance in Europe through research, and the Andalusian PIRASOA program. Two examples of examples of success still to be completed. The research is the key to the fight against Antimicrobial Resistance, but funding against the AMR in Europe is not acceptable because of the magnitude of the heath problem. In this context, in Andalusia (Spain), the PIRASOA Programme has been successfully implemented and developed, integrated into the daily clinical practice. The preliminary outcomes show a reduction of antimicrobial consumption and antimicrobial resistance and an improvement of antimicrobial prescription profile. However, it is necessary to maintain professional motivation and more technical and human resources. Further information Stronger Bacteria.

It also shows the shortcomings which create obstacles to the implementation of the EAP's objectives and offers recommendations for improved implementation and suggestions for any future EAP. In her draft report, the Rapporteur calls in particular for improving the research on areas such as environmental thresholds, nanomaterials, the impacts of microplastics, the interaction between systemic risks and other health determinants, soil and land use and invasive alien species. It also stresses the need for infrastructure projects to fully consider environmental impacts at regional level, for further reform of the CAP to incentivise a sustainable food production system and for farming systems and agricultural to lower their environmental impact.
