ENOVAT Newsletter

The COST Action CA18217 European Network for Optimization of Veterinary Antimicrobial Treatment (ENOVAT) aims to optimize veterinary antimicrobial use with special emphasis on the development of animal- and disease-specific antimicrobial treatment guidelines and refinement of microbiological diagnostic procedures.

What is ENOVAT?

Letter from the Chair

Dr. Peter Damborg

Looking ahead, the next year will be quite busy for ENOVAT. WG1 will conduct a survey on the perception of treatment guidelines in small animal practice, and data for the completed microbiological diagnostics survey are to be analyzed shortly. WG2 will continue adding isolates to the strain database and use it for the creation of ECOFFs and MALDI-TOF ID criteria, WG3 will continue to work on clinical breakpoints, WG4 is busy creating no less than 7 practice guidelines, and WG5 continues to disseminate and communicate results and other information.

“One Health strategy remains a global approach against health threats in the animal, human and environment interface”

Dr. JONATHAN GÓMEZ-RAJA

Science Communication Manager and Chief Scientific Officer, FUNDESALUD, Government of Extremadura, Spain

“Whatever we do in science, should be communicated, and NOT only disseminated. We need to explain to the public what we do as scientists to improve their life“

Prof. Jeroen DEWULF

WG4 vice leader and Full professor at Ghent University

“The best way to reduce antimicrobial resistance is to avoid antimicrobial use through good biosecurity and infection prevention”
