Successful treatment of veterinary infectious diseases in the context widespread use antibiotic therapy depends on effectiveness drugs used to contain or destroy etiological agent. It is generally accepted that resistance microorganisms antimicrobial agents variable, including due horizontal movement with help mobile genetic elements. Antimicrobial susceptibility pattern analysis an important c...

Individual Streptomyces species have the genetic potential to produce a diverse array of natural products of commercial, medical and veterinary interest. However, these products are often not detectable under laboratory culture conditions. To harness their full biosynthetic potential, it is important to develop a detailed understanding of the regulatory networks that orchestrate their metabolis...

Although antibiotics have been used in large quantities for some decades, until recently the existence of these substances in the environment has received little notice. It is only in recent years that a more complex investigation of antibiotic substances has been undertaken in order to permit an assessment of the environmental risks they may pose. Within the last decade, an increasing number o...

florfenicol is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, widely used in veterinary medicine. the aim of this study was to determine florfenicol residues in the muscle and liver of cultured rainbow trout in iran by elisa. the samples were collected from three areas (kiar, ardal, and koohrang), considered as areas with high production of trout in the western part of iran. sampling was completed during the spr...

UNLABELLED Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a global human health problem causing infections in both hospitals and the community. Companion animals, such as cats, dogs, and horses, are also frequently colonized by MRSA and can become infected. We sequenced the genomes of 46 multilocus sequence type (ST) 22 MRSA isolates from cats and dogs in the United Kingdom and compared ...

terious effects of antimicrobial resistance (AMR), the European Commission is calling on all European Union countries to prohibit antibiotic use in animals and humans without veterinary or medical prescription. The requirement is among a number of measures urged in a 12-point, fiveyear Action plan against the rising threats from Antimicrobial Resistance aimed at requiring more prudent use of an...

Widespread antimicrobial use and concomitant resistance have led to a significant threat to public health. Because inappropriate use and overuse of antibiotics based on insufficient knowledge are one of the major drivers of antibiotic resistance, education about prudent antibiotic use aimed at both the prescribers and the public is important. This review investigates recent studies on the effec...

In recent years, the use of lytic bacteriophages as antimicrobial agents controlling pathogenic bacteria has appeared as a promising new alternative strategy in the face of growing antibiotic resistance which has caused problems in many fields including medicine, veterinary medicine, and aquaculture. The use of bacteriophages has numerous advantages over traditional antimicrobials. The effectiv...

Background Antibiotic use in human medicine, veterinary medicine, and agriculture has been linked to the rise of antibiotic resistance globally. We did a systematic review and meta-analysis to summarise the effect that interventions to reduce antibiotic use in food-producing animals have on the presence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria in animals and in humans. Methods On July 14, 2016, we se...

Environments polluted by direct discharges of effluents from antibiotic manufacturing are important reservoirs for antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs), which could potentially be transferred to human pathogens. However, our knowledge about the identity and diversity of ARGs in such polluted environments remains limited. We applied functional metagenomics to explore the resistome of two Croatian ...
