Antimicrobial Resistance in Livestock Production
نویسندگان
چکیده
Salmonella is a foodborne pathogen generally associated with mild to moderate self-limiting gastroenteritis. In the United States the incidence of salmonellosis (16.37 cases per 100,000 population/ year) ranked highest among the pathogens tracked by FoodNet in 2012 (CDC, 2014). Furthermore, invasive infections accounted for 5% of the reported salmonellosis cases during 1996-2006 (Jones 2008). When infection spreads beyond the intestinal tract severe disease may ensue, antimicrobial therapy is warranted.

The livestock reservoir for antimicrobial resistance: a personal view on changing patterns of risks, effects of interventions and the way forward.
The purpose of this review was to provide an updated overview on the use of antimicrobial agents in livestock, the associated problems for humans and current knowledge on the effects of reducing resistance in the livestock reservoir on both human health and animal production. There is still limiting data on both use of antimicrobial agents, occurrence and spread of resistance as well as impact ...
متن کاملImpact of integrated fish farming on antimicrobial resistance in a pond environment.
Integrated fish farming combines livestock production with fish farming. Animal manure is shed directly into a fish pond as fertilizer and supports the growth of photosynthetic organisms. The livestock, mainly chickens and pigs, is often fed feed containing growth promoters. In this study we investigated the impact of integrated fish farming on the levels of antimicrobial-resistant bacteria in ...
متن کاملIntegrated Interventions to Tackle Antimicrobial Usage in Animal Production Systems: The ViParc Project in Vietnam
Antimicrobial usage and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in animal production is now recognized to be an important contributor to the global problem of AMR. Initiatives to curb indiscriminate antimicrobial use in animal production are currently being discussed in many low- and middle-income countries. Well-designed, scientifically sound interventions aimed to tackle excessive antimicrobial usage ...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance in humans, livestock and the wider environment
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in humans is inter-linked with AMR in other populations, especially farm animals, and in the wider environment. The relatively few bacterial species that cause disease in humans, and are the targets of antibiotic treatment, constitute a tiny subset of the overall diversity of bacteria that includes the gut microbiota and vast numbers in the soil. However, resistan...
متن کاملAntimicrobial resistance: an overview.
Increased antimicrobial resistance in bacteria that are important pathogens of humans, and spread of resistance from the closed environment of hospitals into open communities are increasingly perceived as a threat to public health. Any antimicrobial use, whether in humans, animals, plants or food processing technology, could lead to bacterial resistance. Use of antimicrobials in livestock produ...
متن کاملProbiotic Bacillus cereus Strains, a Potential Risk for Public Health in China
Bacillus cereus is an important cause of foodborne infectious disease and food poisoning. However, B. cereus has also been used as a probiotic in human medicine and livestock production, with low standards of safety assessment. In this study, we evaluated the safety of 15 commercial probiotic B. cereus preparations from China in terms of mislabeling, toxin production, and transferable antimicro...
