The use of antibiotics in animals for both therapeutic and non-therapeutic purposes is a major driver of the emergence and spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
While several studies have investigated prescription and consumption patterns in humans, little attention has been paid to the veterinary sector.
A cross-sectional study was conducted in 3002 veterinary students (VS) and non-medical students (NMS) from 12 universities in Bangladesh to explore their knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) about antibiotics and AMR using a self-administered questionnaire, and assess the influence of the veterinary curriculum.
KAP regarding antibiotic use and AMR was significantly higher in veterinary than non-medical students, and in first-year than final-year students.
However, gaps in knowledge and practices were highlighted, suggesting deficiencies in training.
Moreover, final-year veterinary students were found to be more likely than first-year students to use antibiotics without instructions, which could indicate deficiencies in their curriculum.
Although the study suggested a positive impact of the veterinary curriculum on KAP about antibiotics and AMR in Bangladesh, critical gaps remain that are likely to contribute to inadequate use in their future practice.
Therefore, there is scope for improving educational programs on AMR in professional curricula.
