The quantity and pattern of antimicrobial use in animals affects the occurrence of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria from animals and in animal-derived food, and hence it affects human exposure to these resistant bacteria. When pathogens are resistant to essential human antimicrobials, the human health consequences include increased treatment failures, increased severity of infections, and infections that would otherwise not have occurred.
