Ten years ago, European officials, experts and other stakeholders met in Copenhagen, Denmark, at the invitation of the Danish Ministry of Health and the Danish Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Fisheries. This European conference on "The Microbial Threat" due to antimicrobial resistance resulted in the publication of "Copenhagen Recommendations" calling for action to limit the emerging problem of antimicrobial-resistant microorganisms [1]. Following the conference, the European Commission prepared a comprehensive Community strategy against antimicrobial resistance, which was published in 2001 [2] and presented in Eurosurveillance [3]. Later the same year, European Union (EU) Health Ministers adopted a Council Recommendation on the prudent use of antimicrobial agents in human medicine with a series of specific measures aimed at containing the spread of antimicrobial resistance by prudent use of antimicrobial agents [4]Description
