當微生物對抗感染的藥物產(chǎn)生抗性時便產(chǎn)生了抗生素耐藥性問題。這意味著抗感染的抗生素不再有效。

 

    英國食品標準署表示，抗生素耐藥性問題對全球公共衛(wèi)生構成威脅。英國食品標準署一直以來，同國際組織、他國政府以及食品生產(chǎn)商一道，減少抗生素在產(chǎn)肉動物身上的使用。

    Heather Hancock, the Chair of the Food Standards Agency, today opened the meeting of the Codex Alimentarius working group on Antimicrobial Resistance （AMR） in London. Codex Alimentarius is the global food standards body and the meeting, chaired by the UK, USA and Australia, has been organised to progress international efforts to tackle AMR.

 

    AMR is a significant increasing threat to public health across the world. As part of the FSA's commitment to protecting consumers, it is working with international partners, other Government departments, and food producers, to reduce the use of antimicrobials in food producing animals.
