Our latest article: most of our clavulanate and cefovecin use in Aus dogs + cats is simply not justified by the microbiology. Vets, it’s time to bring back the old-school antibiotics that still work really well - amoxicillin and TMS. https://t.co/ensFi1CWKA

Vets at UniMelb are tackling antimicrobial resistance. Hear from me and colleagues about a huge vet AMS trial, simple changes microbiology labs can make to promote AMS & effective ways to talk to pet owners about responsible antibiotic use & more. #aaw2021
