Antimicrobial Resistance of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae Strains Isolated from Geese to Antimicrobials Widely Used in Veterinary Medicine

Characterization of Erysipelothrix rhusiopathiae strains isolated from acute swine erysipelas outbreaks in Eastern China

Recently, a series of acute swine erysipelas outbreaks occurred in Eastern China. Eight strains isolated from cases of septicemia were determined as serotype 1a, and 4 of the isolates were resistant to acriflavine. One isolate strain named HX130709 was attenuated on agar media containing acriflavine dye. The 432-bp hypervariable region in spaA gene of the field and attenuated strains were ampli...

Antimicrobial Resistance in Veterinary Medicine

Use of antimicrobials in veterinary medicine and mechanisms of resistance.

This review deals with the application of antimicrobial agents in veterinary medicine and food animal production and the possible consequences arising from the widespread and multipurpose use of antimicrobials. The various mechanisms that bacteria have developed to escape the inhibitory effects of the antimicrobials most frequently used in the veterinary field are reported in detail. Resistance...

Antimicrobial activity of four medicinal plants widely used in Persian folk medicine

Background and objectives: Commiphora habessinica (O.Berg) Engl. (Burseraceae), Boswellia sacra Flueck (Burseraceae), Phoenix dactylifera L. (Arecaceae), and Doronicum glaciale (Wulfen) Nyman (Asteraceae) are of ethnomedicinal importance in Persian folk medicine and are widely used to treat infectious diseases. The aim of the present study was to investigate ...

Pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic relationships of antimicrobial drugs used in veterinary medicine.

The rise in incidence of antimicrobial resistance, consumer demands and improved understanding of antimicrobial action has encouraged international agencies to review the use of antimicrobial drugs. More detailed understanding of relationships between the pharmacokinetics (PK) of antimicrobial drugs in target animal species and their action on target pathogens [pharmacodynamics (PD)] has led to...
