11h30 Round table – how to improve data collection on antibiotic use as plant protection products and AMR in plant health, in a ONE Health Perspective ?
12h00 Selected short contributions by participants (5 min each)
The objective of the workshop is to encourage the exchange and collection of data on:
-
the use of antibiotics for controlling plant pathogenic bacteria;
-
the antibiotic resistance in plant pathogenic bacteria; and
-
alternative measures for controlling plant pathogenic bacteria, with an emphasis on data gaps and key questions for improving risk assessment.
The workshop also aims to establish the basis for a network on the topic, connecting with established networks in the areas of animal and human health.
As part of the workshop, global inventories of antibiotics used as plant protection products and information on antimicrobial resistance associated with the use of antibiotics in plant protection will be presented (as collected in the framework of the EFSA funded PLANTBIO project).
