This case study builds on a project to recruit antibiotic stewards and examines their responsibility to disseminate best practices, to support deeper knowledge, conservative attitudes and preventive practices.\u0000 Antibiotic resistance is a global emergency that threatens the reversal of improvements in societal capacity to reduce human mortality caused by infectious pathogenic bacteria. Solutions to the problem demand a One Health approach because antibiotics are abused in animal and human healthcare; and the emergence and spread of resistant pathogens occurs in environmental contexts. In all regions of the world, antibiotic resistance increases the global burden of diseases by jeopardizing population health, food security and environmental quality, with most of the adverse impacts expected in Africa. Proposed remediation strategies hinge on improving antibiotic stewardship through deeper knowledge of social and ecological determinants of resistance, conservative attitudes in antibiotic uses, and preventive practices to curb infectious diseases. This case study is based on a project entitled Antibiotic Stewardship is Public Health (ASPH), with the goal of empowering stewards with tools to implement strategies for preventing antibiotic-resistant infections. The Ten Commandments of antibiotic stewards emerged from population surveys, stakeholder interviews and community engagement exercises. Outcomes were distilled to inform best practices including: using antibiotics as prescribed; not disposing of expired antibiotics in domestic waste; advocating prudent use of antibiotics in farm animals; supporting research to respond better to antibiotic resistance; teaching students about the importance of antibiotics for global health security; understanding the One Health approach to combatting antibiotic resistance; advocating effective policies to stop the careless use and disposal of antibiotics; resisting consumption of food items laden with antibiotic residues; and supporting research to discover alternative therapies to prevent or treat infections.","PeriodicalId":415773,"journal":{"name":"One Health Cases","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121982801","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"How Crop–Livestock Clinics Are Advancing One Health: A Pilot Case from Uganda","authors":"S. Danielsen, C. Alokit, Caroline Aliamo, Idah Mugambi","doi":"10.1079/onehealthcases.2022.0002","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1079/onehealthcases.2022.0002","url":null,"abstract":"\u0000 Crop and livestock health are crucial to agricultural productivity and farmers’ livelihoods. However, in low-income countries, farmer advisory services tend to be permanently short of funding and staff, leaving the majority of smallholders underserved. CABI’s work with plant clinics has revealed potential ‘One Health’ benefits of broadening the scope of the plant clinics to better meet farmers’ demands for advice. This case shows how a team from different disciplines and sectors co-created a new type of farmer advisory service in Uganda: a ‘plant and livestock clinic’ (consultation centre). These joint clinics represent an innovation in farmer service delivery using existing organizational structures and capacities. This case explores the results and lessons learned from the first pilot year. The joint clinics add value to the One Health offer in several ways: (i) crop and livestock staff are able to share operational costs, knowledge and insights in a way that they would not normally be able to do; (ii) plant and livestock consultations in the same place save time for farmers and provide opportunities for cross-learning – farmers ‘hang around’ to hear the advice other farmers receive and exchange information with one another; (iii) joint clinics are an entry point to improving referral systems and targeting delivery of technology such as animal vaccines and clean cassava cuttings; and (iv) crop–livestock clinics provide an avenue for finding out what farmers know and don’t know about One Health issues – crucial information to design solutions. The case also examines the opportunities for furthering crop–livestock clinics as an entry point to advance One Health.\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 The logo for the Coat of arms of Uganda.
