HealthConnections: The Global Threat of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR)

A One Health perspective recognizes the interconnectedness of humans, animals, plants, water, and other environmental factors. Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been named one of the most serious global public health threats of the century and is a classic example of a problem that requires a One Health response.

Dr. Carole Myers of the University of Tennessee College of Nursing speaks with Dr. David White, Interim Dean of UT's Herbert College of Agriculture about antimicrobial resistance (AMR), named one of the most serious global public health threats of the century.
