MICROBIOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY : SCIENTIFIC OPPORTUNITIES TO ADDRESS GLOBAL CHALLENGES

MICROBIOLOGY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY :SCIENTIFIC OPPORTUNITIES TO ADDRESS GLOBAL CHALLENGES

21-24 July 2021

Virtual Event

Read Full Post
Naturally, humans and animals co-exist in the same environment.  This has been used by microbes to their advantage as a big opportunity by infecting both, making the efforts to control and eradicate them harder. The One Health approach is defined by the CDC as a collaborative, multisectoral, and trans-disciplinary approach — working at the local, regional, national, and global levels — with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.  Professionals from different fields of expertise have been working hand in hand to achieve the objectives of the One Health approach. They have seen its importance in food safety, control of different zoonoses and most especially, to address the current war regarding antibiotic resistance.  As microbes are very much coordinated, antibiotic resistance can be transmitted from humans to animals and back and forth, making it harder, as mentioned earlier, to control and completely eradicate them.
