The use of antimicrobial agents in aquaculture can lead to both direct and indirect effects, as a result of the response of an organism to the presence of the agent. These effects can be considered in terms of the risks associated with toxicity linked to residues in human food, the development of resistance following antimicrobial therapy or the potential for environmental consequences. There i...

The aim of this study was to estimate the effects Japan’s National Action Plan on Antimicrobial Resistance 2016–2020 (NAP) antimicrobial use (AMU). Monthly AMU from January 2013 December 2019 calculated using sales data, and time-series charts were then created for total antimicrobials target drug categories shown in NAP (oral cephalosporins, oral fluoroquinolones, macrolides, parenteral antimi...

Release of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (endotoxin) from bacteria into the bloodstream may cause serious unwanted stimulation of the host immune system. Some but not all antimicrobial peptides can neutralize LPS-stimulated proinflammatory responses. Salt resistance and serum stability of short antimicrobial peptides can be boosted by adding β-naphthylalanine to their termini. Herein, significant an...
