Enhancing Practitioner Knowledge about Antibiotic Resistance: Connecting Human and Animal Health
The development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria is associated with increases in mortality, morbidity, length of hospitalization, and health-care costs (6).

A summary of the proceedings includes key recommendations for stakeholders to institute strategies for preventing the spread of antimicrobial-resistant organisms.
