The working group deals with questions concerning the development, introduction, spread, and transfer of resistance to antimicrobial agents (antibiotics, disinfectants, antiseptics) in animal husbandry and veterinary practices, as well as with the development and evaluation of appropriate intervention measures.
In this context, questions relating to biofilm formation and the biofilm-associated tenacity of resistant infectious agents are also investigated.
