To help tackle the growing problem of antimicrobial resistance in developing countries, WorldFish has been invited to contribute to the new CGIAR Antimicrobial Resistance Hub. The hub, which will integrate and channel the research and development efforts of three CGIAR centers and three CGIAR research programs including FISH, is being launched on 21–22 February 2019 in Nairobi, Kenya.
Antimicrobials are among the most important tools available to treat disease and improve welfare in animals and humans. Yet rising resistance to these drugs in disease-causing bacteria and other microbes poses a major threat to public and animal health as well as the structure and sustainability of food production.
