Abstract

Recent data re-affirm antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as a One Health problem, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Transdisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration are required if we are to improve environmental hygiene, addressing both AMR and a range of aligned development challenges.
