For the first time, researchers have shown that antibiotic use and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in both humans and animals are globally related. The results, which were published in The Lancet Planetary Health, show that using antibiotics in both humans and animals is linked to both AMR in humans and AMR in animals.
