Enrofloxacin (ERFX) is a synthetic antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone (FQ) family, which is commonly administered in veterinary medicine. ERFX and its metabolite, ciprofloxacin (CPFX), have been reported to accumulate in hair of treated animals. Therefore, hair analysis is an attractive non-invasive alternative to control misuse of such antibiotic and to ensure food safety by preventing such foo...

Antimicrobial resistance is a global public health crisis with attention focussed on food supply as part of the ‘One Health’ integration veterinary, environmental and health. Aquaculture has been fastest growing livestock sector in recent decades critical to nutritional security many low- middle-income countries (LMIC). With ready access antibiotics limited availability veterinary support, dise...

BACKGROUND Antibiotic resistance, evolving and spreading among bacterial pathogens, poses a serious threat to human health. Antibiotic use for clinical, veterinary and agricultural practices provides the major selective pressure for emergence and persistence of acquired resistance determinants. However, resistance has also been found in the absence of antibiotic exposure, such as in bacteria fr...

Use and misuse of antimicrobial agents lead to antimicrobial resistance. This is well-known, as it is equally well known that restrictive use results in lower resistance rates. However, how powerful restrictive use is in minimizing the rise of antimicrobial resistance is not very well documented. There are examples in the literature of changes in antibiotic use that have led to lowering resista...

CASE SUMMARY An approximately 3-year-old, male domestic longhair cat was presented to a mobile veterinary unit for routine neuter. Preoperative physical examination revealed an approximately 5 cm × 2 cm scab on the craniolateral portion of the left antebrachium. The cat was anesthetized for the neuter using an injectable anesthesia protocol. After castration, the wound area on the antebrachium ...

Avoidance of unnecessary antimicrobial administration is a key point stewardship; knowing the optimal duration therapy obviates over-treatment. In this article we have highlighted results modern research on influence antibiotic use success treatment and development resistance microorganisms. Foreign literary sources scientific by experts in field are analyzed. Based results, following conclusio...

Scenedesmus almeriensis microalgae–bacteria consortia were evaluated for the removal of a mixture tetracycline (TET), ciprofloxacin (CIP), and sulfadiazine (SDZ) from real liquid fraction pig slurry in pilot scale photobioreactor. After 15 days operation, reactor was spiked with 100μg/L each antibiotic. The experiment ran 20 additional days. From phase, antibiotic 77 ± 5 %, 90 14 60 27 % TET, C...

The pervasive use of antibiotics in human medicine, veterinary and agriculture can result a significant increase the spread environmental persistence antibiotic resistance marine ecosystems. This study describes presence distribution antibiotic-resistant bacteria Salish Sea harbor seals (Phoca vitulina) porpoises (Phocoena phocoena) evaluates species, age class, geographic differences patterns....

Antimicrobial resistance is a concern both for animal and human health. Veterinary programmes monitoring resistance of animal and zoonotic pathogens are therefore essential. Various European countries have implemented national surveillance programmes, particularly for zoonotic and commensal bacteria, and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) is compiling the data. However, harmonisation is ...

Antibiotic contamination of water is an emerging global issue with severe implications for both public health and the environment. Ciprofloxacin (CIP) a synthetic fluoroquinolone antibiotic, which broadly used in human veterinary medicines around world to treat various bacterial infections. The presence CIP aquatic environment poses serious problems beings other living entities. Floating treatm...
