World Health Organization Ranking of Antimicrobials According to Their Importance in Human Medicine: A Critical Step for Developing Risk Management Strategies for the Use of Antimicrobials in Food Production Animals
Clinical Infectious Diseases, 06/08/09

Collignon P et al. - Improved management of the use of antimicrobials in food animals, particularly reducing the usage of those that are “critically important” for human medicine, is an important step toward preserving the benefits of antimicrobials for people. The ranking allows stakeholders to focus risk management efforts on drugs used in food animals that are the most important to human medicine and, thus, need to be addressed most urgently, such as fluoroquinolones, macrolides, and third- and fourth-generation cephalosporins.
