Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) threatens to reverse the essential benefits of antibiotics, not only in humans, where decades of advancements in healthcare outcomes are endangered, but also in the food production industry. As the world moves toward Sustainable Development Goals, food safety is a critical element to improve and strengthen global health, and ensure sustainable development. Emergence of AMR in the food production industry represents a serious risk for exposed workers, their relatives and consumers. This perspective presents the challenge of AMR through the lens of food safety, by highlighting its multisectoral and multidimensional implications not only on the Sustainable Development Goals for food safety and public health but also on food security, animal health and welfare, the environment and climate, and socioeconomic development.
抗菌药物耐药性（AMR）有可能使抗生素带来的基本益处化为乌有，这不仅在人类健康领域如此，数十年来在医疗保健成果方面取得的进展受到威胁，在食品生产行业也是如此。随着世界朝着可持续发展目标迈进，食品安全是改善和加强全球健康、确保可持续发展的关键要素。食品生产行业中抗菌药物耐药性的出现，对接触到的工人、他们的亲属以及消费者构成了严重风险。本观点文章从食品安全的角度阐述了抗菌药物耐药性带来的挑战，强调了它不仅对食品安全和公共卫生可持续发展目标，而且对粮食安全、动物健康与福利、环境与气候以及社会经济发展等方面的多部门和多维度影响。
