The aim of this paper is to report on antimicrobial resistance prevalence in indicator E. coli, as well as on the overall correlation between resistant proportions of isolates and mean AMU per country from farms sampled within the EFFORT project. Furthermore, the correlation of mean AMU per country with national harmonized indicators per animal species to cover the most relevant AMR aspects for human health in animal production at national level is analysed.

Farm selection and sampling has been previously described [6]. Briefly, for each of the participating countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland and Spain) 20 conventional integrated farrow-tofinisher pig farms and 20 conventional broiler farms were included. Countries were anonymized (A to I) to ensure that results could not be traced back and because farm selections cannot be considered representative of an entire country
