Companion animals for many people are a big part of our lives with close contact within our homes. However, as we learn more we realise they are able to acquire and exchange multidrug-resistant pathogens with humans, and may serve as a potential source of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) for their owners . The RUMA Companion Animal and Equine organisation has been established to encourage and promote the responsible use of medicines, and in particular antibiotics.
