At the Paul G. Allen School for Global Animal Health, we recognize the importance of addressing local problems that can become global issues. Our scientists are working every day to provide solutions to global disease through research, education, global outreach, and disease control at the animal-human interface.
 
Antibiotic resistant bacteria, for instance, are a major threat to human and animal health—and the problem is global. In many resource poor countries, the unregulated use of antibiotics can contaminate water locally or contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistant pathogens through travel and trade. Our research may ultimately inform policy decisions to help control the emergence and spread of antibiotic resistance worldwide
