Objective EFFORT studies the complex epidemiology and ecology of antimicrobial resistance and the interactions between bacterial communities, commensals and pathogens in animals, the food chain and the environment.This will be conducted by a combination of epidemiological and ecological studies using newly developed molecular and bio-informatics technologies. EFFORT will include an exposure assessment of humans from animal/environmental sources. The ecological studies on isolates will be verified by in vitro and in vivo studies. Moreover, real-life intervention studies will be conducted aiming at reducing the use of antimicrobials in veterinary practice. Focus will be on understanding the eco-epidemiology of antimicrobial resistance from animal origin and based on this, predicting and limiting the future evolution and exposure to humans of the most clinically important resistance by synthesising different sources of information in our prediction models. Through its results, the EFFORT research will provide scientific evidence and high quality data that will inform decision makers, the scientific community and other stakeholders about the consequences of AMR in the food chain, in relation to animal health and welfare, food safety and economic aspects. These results can be used to support political decisions and to prioritize risk management options along the food chain. The EFFORT consortium is made up of 20 partners from 10 European countries: Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain and Switzerland.The senior investigators leading this proposal bring together complementary strengths antimicrobial resistance, food safety, epidemiology of food borne pathogens and risk modelling, environmental epidemiology and microbial ecology, exposure assessment, veterinary microbiology, preventive molecular characterization of AMR, genetics and biology of DNA transfer mechanisms, whole genome sequencing for bacteria and economics of animal diseases Fields of science social scienceseconomics and businesseconomicsmedical and health scienceshealth sciencespublic healthepidemiologynatural sciencesbiological sciencesecologyengineering and technologyother engineering and technologiesfood technologyfood safetymedical and health sciencesbasic medicinepharmacology and pharmacydrug resistanceantibiotic resistance Programme(s) FP7-KBBE - Specific Programme "Cooperation": Food, Agriculture and Biotechnology Topic(s) KBBE.2013.1.3-05 - Ecology of drug resistant bacteria and transfer of antimicrobial resistance throughout the food chain Call for proposal FP7-KBBE-2013-7-single-stage See other projects for this call Funding Scheme CP-TP - Collaborative Project targeted to a special group (such as SMEs) Coordinator UNIVERSITEIT UTRECHT EU contribution € 1 588 812,00 Address HEIDELBERGLAAN 8 3584 CS Utrecht Netherlands See on map Region West-Nederland Utrecht Utrecht Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact Jaap Wagenaar (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data Participants (19) Sort alphabetically Sort by EU Contribution Expand all Collapse all STICHTING WAGENINGEN RESEARCH Netherlands EU contribution € 540 237,00 Address DROEVENDAALSESTEEG 4 6708 PB Wageningen See on map Region Oost-Nederland Gelderland Veluwe Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Dik Mevius (Prof.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data BUNDESINSTITUT FUER RISIKOBEWERTUNG Germany EU contribution € 476 264,00 Address MAX DOHRN STRASSE 8-10 10589 Berlin See on map Region Berlin Berlin Berlin Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Steven Lingott Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data UNIVERSIDAD COMPLUTENSE DE MADRID Spain EU contribution € 527 120,00 Address AVENIDA DE SENECA 2 28040 Madrid See on map Region Comunidad de Madrid Comunidad de Madrid Madrid Activity type Higher or Secondary Education Establishments Administrative Contact María Isabel Rodríguez Villa (Mrs.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data AGENCE NATIONALE DE LA SECURITE SANITAIRE DE L ALIMENTATION DE L ENVIRONNEMENT ET DU TRAVAIL France EU contribution € 557 760,00 Address 14 RUE PIERRE ET MARIE CURIE 94700 Maisons Alfort See on map Region Ile-de-France Ile-de-France Val-de-Marne Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Martial Mettendorff (Mr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data ISTITUTO ZOOPROFILATTICO SPERIMENTALE DELLE REGIONI LAZIO E TOSCANA Italy EU contribution € 222 150,00 Address via appia nuova 1411 00178 Roma See on map Region Centro (IT) Lazio Roma Activity type Research Organisations Administrative Contact Antonio Battisti (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data VION FOOD NEDERLAND BV Netherlands EU contribution € 102 840,00 Address BOSEIND 10 5281 RMA Boxtel See on map Region Zuid-Nederland Noord-Brabant Noordoost-Noord-Brabant Activity type Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Administrative Contact Lourens Heres (Dr.) Links Contact the organisation Opens in new window Website Opens in new window Total cost No data UNIVERSITEIT GENT Belgium EU contribution € 507 920,00 Address SINT PIETERSNIEUWSTRAAT 25 9000 Gent See on map Region Vlaams Gewest Prov.
