Antimicrobial resistance in animals: bacterium/antibiotic combinations for priority monitoring

L’antibiorésistance constitue l’une des principales menaces mondiales pour la santé publique identifiée par l’OMS. La transmission des animaux aux humains de bactéries résistantes aux antibiotiques est l’une des sources pouvant conduire à des impasses thérapeutiques pour traiter certaines maladies. L’Anses a ainsi élaboré une liste de 11 couples « bactérie / famille d’antibiotiques » à surveiller en priorité chez les animaux du fait des enjeux majeurs en santé humaine. Cette expertise s’inscrit dans le cadre de la préparation du plan national Écoantibio 3, qui vise à poursuivre les progrès déjà accomplis en matière de réduction de l’usage des antibiotiques en santé animale.

Mushroom-picking season has already begun: be vigilant!

Foraging for mushrooms has got off to an early start this year. Although wild mushrooms are popular delicacies, some species are nevertheless toxic or even fatal to humans. In 2022, two people died after mistaking toxic species for edible ones. Whether you are a connoisseur or an occasional picker, you should remain vigilant and follow good practices to ensure safe consumption.Foraging for mushrooms has got off to an early start this year.
