# Lab-supported Antimicrobial Stewardship at the Cornell University Hospital for Animals

> **NIH FDA U18** · CORNELL UNIVERSITY · 2020 · $41,100

## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract
Large veterinary teaching hospitals are in a unique position to promote the judicious use of antimicrobials,
particularly for companion animals. Cats and dogs are a growing concern for harboring multi-drug resistant
organisms. Given the current lack of regulations on antimicrobial usage in companion animals, it is imperative
to teach DVM students how to prescribe treatments appropriately using data from reliable diagnostics. This
project will support the development of a formal lab-supported stewardship plan at the highly ranked Cornell
College of Veterinary Medicine in line with the FDA CVM 5 year action plan for supporting antimicrobial
stewardship in veterinary settings
