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.
