Abstract: Antibiotic resistance affects the development of the world economy and threats public health. China is one of the countries with the most severe abuse of antibiotics. Here, we describe the causes of antibiotic resistance in the environment, human and animals as well as the status of antibiotic resistance. Based on the concept of One Health, we propose the promotion of the scientific use of antibiotics, the development of new types of antibiotics, establishment of the antibiotics stereoscopic monitoring network system, the promotion of knowledge education of antibiotic resistance, prevention of infection and other measures. We call for the establishment of interdisciplinary, cross-sectoral, trans-regional communication and cooperation to promote the development of antibiotic resistance prevention and control in China to protect environment and the health of humans and animals.
