Towards monitoring of antimicrobial resistance in the environment: For what reasons, how to implement it, and what are the data needs?
Highlights:
-
Background levels of environmental antimicrobial resistance need to be established.
-
How different AMR monitoring methods compare to each other must be determined.
-
Locations and type of environments relevant for AMR monitoring must be identified.
-
High-risk environments for transmission of resistance need to be defined.
-
Methods to detect novel resistance genes are needed.
