Mississippi State University is advancing research, education, and partnerships to positively impact local waters and global food systems through its second annual Aquatic Antimicrobial Resistance Workshop.
Hosted by the Global Center for Aquatic Health and Food Security and the Division of Agriculture, Forestry, and Veterinary Medicine, the program builds on the success of last year's inaugural event.
The workshop shared innovative solutions for combating antimicrobial resistance in aquaculture, a major challenge to global food security and public health.
Antimicrobial resistance, or AMR, occurs when bacteria, viruses or other microorganisms evolve to resist treatments such as antibiotics.
