Assessment of the transfer of antimicrobial resistance between pets and humans in Norway. Opinion of the Panel on biological hazards of the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety

摘要: In 2014, the Norwegian Food Safety Authority (NFSA) requested an assessment on the transfer of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) between pets and humans from VKM. VKM appointed a working group consisting of members of the Panel on Biological Hazards and one external expert to prepare the answers to the questions posed in the Terms of Reference (ToR). One member from the Panel on Animal Health and Welfare contributed as a hearing expert. The Panel on Biological Hazards has reviewed and revised the draft prepared by the working group, and the assessment has been adopted.
