Innovation TitleSystems-thinking approach for identifying hot-spots for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) emergence and elucidating pathways for human exposure in aquaculture systems
Innovation description Aquaculture systems are highly complex, dynamic and interconnected systems influenced by environmental, biological, cultural, socio-economic and human behavioral factors. A systems-thinking approach was used to map two aquaculture systems in Vietnam – striped catfish and white-leg shrimp – to identify hot-spots for emergence and selection of resistance, and human exposure to antibiotics and antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
