Project Summary
The report summarises 20 years of data on AMR in campylobacter in UK-produced chicken, spanning a range of different surveys. It describes time trends in AMR for the key antimicrobials important for human health and explores associations with production (and other) factors. It provides an annex that links researchers to a unified database containing the underpinning data.
