<b>Antibiotic resistance: Survey of Russian veterinarians</b>

This research is aimed at identifying areas for improvement in the rationalization of antibiotic use in Russian veterinary practice, including previously adopted measures. The following areas can be suggested for improvement: insufficient level of knowledge of veterinarians about the problem of antibiotic resistance; insufficient availability of information for veterinarians about the profile of bacteria in various infectious diseases of animals, measures for the rational use of antibiotics, and the availability of alternative treatment methods (without the use of antibiotics); and reliable, inexpensive, and rapid methods for determining the sensitivity of bacteria to antibiotics.
