Report on NARMs On-Farm Sampling Project
نویسنده
چکیده
The National Antimicrobial Resistance Monitoring System (NARMS) was developed approximately 15 years ago to monitor enteric bacteria in humans, food producing animals and retail meats for antimicrobial resistant bacteria (AMR). Included in this program was assessing the quantities and levels of AMR bacteria in samples collected from food producing animals at slaughter plants. While this has provided valuable information, there has been a gap in our knowledge of the relationship between the bacterial AMR profiles identified by NARMS and the bacterial AMR profile on the farm. This project was developed to begin assessing the relationship between bacterial and AMR profiles on the farm and at the slaughterhouse and to determine the feasibility of testing on-farm samples and correlating them to the slaughter samples.

متن کاملDiversity of Antimicrobial Resistance Phenotypes in Salmonella Isolated from Commercial Poultry Farms
Salmonella remains the leading cause of foodborne illness in the United States, and the dissemination of drug-resistant Salmonellae through the food chain has important implications for treatment failure of salmonellosis. We investigated the ecology of Salmonella in integrated broiler production in order to understand the flow of antibiotic susceptible and resistant strains within this system. ...

متن کاملFarm-tractor-related fatalities--Kentucky, 1994.
Fatalities associated with farm tractors are the most common cause of work-related death in the U.S. agricultural industry (1). To characterize farm-tractor-related fatalities in Kentucky, the Kentucky Fatality Assessment and Control Evaluation (KY FACE) Project studied all fatal farm injuries occurring among persons in that state during 1994, the initial year of operation for FACE in Kentucky....
