Biography
Andrea Barbarossa has his expertise in many aspects of Veterinary Pharmacology. These include pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics and residues studies, but also antimicrobial resistance. In this context, he took part in a project of the University of Copenhagen focused on identifying synergies between antimicrobial and non-antibiotic drugs commonly used in veterinary medicine as a possible strategy to restore antimicrobial susceptibility in MRSP. In parallel, he took part in a 3 years project promoted by the Emilia Romagna Regional Veterinary Service aimed at understanding how antimicrobials are used in veterinary medicine and at developing specific guidelines for their correct use in pets, swine and bovine. It has already been demonstrated how these tools can be helpful at containing antimicrobial resistance
