Develop and pilot approaches to surveillance for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in companion animals and equines

The Veterinary Medicines Directorate (VMD) wishes to undertake research to pilot different approaches to surveillance for antibiotic resistance in companion animals and equines in the UK. The aim of the project is to inform the development of representative UK-wide surveillance of antibiotic resistance in commensal bacteria carried by companion animal and equine populations (to include cats and/or dogs, and horses).
