    Año de publicación: 2017

    These guidelines present evidence-based recommendations and best practice statements on use of medically important antimicrobials in food-producing animals, based on the WHO list of critically important antimicrobials for human medicine (WHO CIA List). These guidelines aim primarily to help preserve the effectiveness of medically important antimicrobials, particularly those antimicrobials judged to be critically important to human medicine and also help preserve the effectiveness of antimicrobials for veterinary medicine, in direct support of the WHO global action plan on antimicrobial resistance.

    En las presentes directrices se hacen recomendaciones y declaraciones sobre prácticas óptimas basadas en evidencias acerca del uso de antimicrobianos de importancia médica en animales destinados a la producción de alimentos, tomando como base la Lista OMS de AIC. El objetivo principal de las directrices es contribuir a preservar la eficacia de los antimicrobianos de importancia médica, y en particular de aquellos que se consideran de importancia crítica para la medicina humana, y contribuir también a preservar la eficacia de los antimicrobianos en la medicina veterinaria, todo ello en apoyo directo del Plan de acción mundial de la OMS sobre la resistencia a los antimicrobianos.
