On risks to public and animal health caused by use of antibiotics in livestock


The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has launched a public consultation on the risks to public and animal health caused by the use of antibiotics in livestock.

Organised at the request of the European Commission, EMA’s AntiMicrobial Expert Group (AMEG) will manage this consultation.

Pharmaceutical companies have been asked to participate in a meeting on 28 February designed to help them contribute to this process, which will end between April and September, depending on the topics being assessed. EMA will draft advice following the consultation, for release between June and December.

The Agency wants advice on which existing antibiotics are considered so important for human healthcare that they should be restricted for animal use.

It also wants guidance on what veterinary medicine market approval applications should be refused over concerns that their use might promote antimicrobial resistance. It also wants suggestions on mitigating risks posed by existing medicines or those proposed for market authorisation.

  5. The right validation model: practical considerations and applications It is widely accepted that validation in the life sciences industry follows a lifecycle model (1,2). What is not always clear is the specific model — or models — to follow and how to navigate through them in the real world. Hurdles to overcome include the specific deliverables that make up that model and how they change during the various interactions along the validation journey

The key role of IVDs in healthcare: challenges to commercialisation and access

In simple terms, in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests are done on samples such as blood or tissue that have been taken from the human body. IVDs can detect diseases, conditions and infections, provide patients with a better understanding of their ailment and how it might be managed and changed with treatment
