09-Feb-2010 (16 years 3 months 29 days ago)Resistance to antibiotics in animals in Danish herds may become a problem over time for the health of both animals and humans. The Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries has therefore funded DKK 11 million (corresponding 1,5 million euro) to two comprehensive research projects with the purpose to develope new ways of combating resistant bacteria in animals.
Among other things, the research projects will study how resistant bacteria are transmitted from animals to humans, and develop better methods to identify the resistant bacteria in individual herds.
