To preserve the efficacy of antibiotics, it has become essential to establish measures to regulate the prescription of antibiotics to ensure their prudent use. In France, these measures have been translated into regulations for animal health since 2015, with the publication of three important regulatory texts. The results obtained on a national scale in terms of reducing the use of antibiotics have been satisfactory. The aim of our study was to evaluate the differences related to the prescription of antimicrobials at the veterinary teaching hospital of the Veterinary School of Lyon (CHUV) before and after the implementation of French regulations. Prescriptions and consumption of antimicrobials were examined, along with bacteriological analyses, for the period of 2014\u20132020, for companion animals and horses. The most frequently prescribed compounds were broad-spectrum antimicrobials, including penicillins with \u03b2-lactamase inhibitors, as well as first-generation cephalosporins tetracyclines and sulfamides. The prescription and consumption of critically important antibiotics (CIA) strongly decreased during the study period, with an increase of bacteriological analyses. This study shows the interest of having computerized tools to monitor the use of antimicrobials to implement corrective measures if needed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/antibiotics10111369","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,9]],"date-time":"2021-11-09T10:44:58Z","timestamp":1636454698000},"page":"1369","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Use of Antimicrobials in a French Veterinary Teaching Hospital: A Retrospective Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7244-6162","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Caroline","family":"Prouillac","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"VetAgro Sup Campus V\u00e9t\u00e9rinaire de Lyon, Universit\u00e9 de Lyon, 69280 Marcy l\u2019Etoile, France"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1128\/microbiolspec.ARBA-0009-2017","article-title":"Antimicrobial Resistance: A One Health Perspective","volume":"6","author":"McEwen","year":"2018","journal-title":"Microbiol.
