Aim: The aim was to determine the prevalence and evaluation of antibiotic resistance pattern and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Campylobacter species isolated from foods of animal origin. Materials and Methods: A total of 280 samples (comprising 150 chicken meat, 50 chevon and 80 milk) were collected from retail meat markets, slaughter houses and dairy farms and analyzed for isolatio...

Antibiotics are crucial, life-saving medicines in the fight against infectious disease, but resistance to these drugs is growing all over. This article presents key findings from a detailed situation analysis produced by the Global Antibiotic Resistance Partnership (GARP)-Nepal working group. In the absence of nationally-representative surveillance, it is not possible to fully describe antibiot...

BACKGROUND AND AIM There are global public health and economic concerns on chemical residues in food of animal origin. The use of antibiotics in dairy cattle for the treatment of diseases such as mastitis has contributed to the presence of residues in dairy products. Penicillin residues as low as 1 ppb can lead to allergic reactions and shift of resistance patterns in microbial population as we...

Abstract Veterinary antibiotics (VAs) administered to livestock are introduced into the soil through manure and compost. These can run off surface water or leach groundwater during rainfall, causing problems such as antibiotic contamination occurrence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In this study, an analytical method for detecting four classes VAs (penicillin, tetracyclines, macrolides, sulf...

Antibiotic resistance and its dissemination from poultry food to human beings further sequentially the environment is becoming an ever-increasing distress worldwide. Nowadays a small ratio of meat sample rural area itself may be found positive with Multi Drug Resistant (MDR) isolates. This study aimed enumerate prevalence antibiotic resistant isolates in raw chicken collected retail shops (fres...

The emergence of antibiotic resistance is a defining challenge, and Escherichia coli is recognized as one of the leading species resistant to the antimicrobials used in human or veterinary medicine. Here, we analyse the distribution of 2172 antimicrobial-resistance (AMR) genes in 4022 E. coli to provide a population-level view of resistance in this species. By separating the resistance determin...

This study investigated the occurrence of 12 veterinary antibiotics (VAs) and the susceptibility of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in a rural water system that was affected by livestock production in northern China. Each of the surveyed sites was determined with at least eight antibiotics with maximum concentration of up to 450 ng L(-1). The use of VAs in livestock farming probably was a primary so...

Introduction: Staphylococcus intermedius group (SIG), a known veterinary pathogen with the potential for zoonotic human infections, comprises S. intermedius, pseudintermedius, and delphini, which are not easily distinguishable. Without proper equipment procedures, it cannot be distinguished from aureus (SAu), causes underestimation of its true incidence. Case Presentation: A 52-year-old male di...

Drug resistant bacteria have been posing a major challenge to the effective control of bacterial infections for quite some time. One of the main causes of antibiotics drug resistance is antibiotic overuse, abuse, and in some cases, misuse, due to incorrect diagnosis. Bacterial antibiotic resistance is a significant issues faced by various industries, including the food and agricultural industri...
