GATICA EGUIGUREN, María de los Angeles  e  ROJAS, Hernán. Sanitary management and resistance to antimicrobial agents in production animals. Rev. perú. med. exp. salud publica [online]. 2018, vol.35, n.1, pp.118-125. ISSN 1726-4634.  http://dx.doi.org/10.17843/rpmesp.2018.351.3571.

The important benefits of antimicrobial agents in disease control have turned them into a fundamental tool in animal production. Nevertheless, its elevated use and, often, misuse, has contributed to one of the main public health problems in the world: resistance to antimicrobial agents. At the animal production level, the applications in terms of health management allow decreasing the need to use antimicrobial agents and, in the cases where they are needed, the good practices reduce their potential to cause resistance to a minimum. Despite this, the application and development of new strategies that allow facing the problem on a trans-sectoral basis are required, integrating all participants in the public and private sector.
