Antimicrobials and resistant bacteria in global fish farming and the possible risk for public health

Abstract

The use of antimicrobials in fish farming is a reflection of the fast aquaculture development worldwide. The intensification of aquaculture to achieve market demands could lead to an increase in infectious diseases by pathogenic bacteria. Consequently, antimicrobials act as controls for emerging infectious diseases, but their use must follow the rules and regulations of the country where the activity is performed. Although the regulations impose limits to the use of antimicrobials in fish farming, many studies show that resistant bacteria are isolated from this system. The selection of resistant bacteria is not limited only to the use of antimicrobials, but also to co-selection of resistance genes or even with cross-resistance processes. Resistant bacteria from fish farming are a serious concern because they can be acquired by humans with handling or food chain, which may represent a public health problem. In the present review, we present an overview of antimicrobials use in aquaculture, the antimicrobial resistance and the impact of antimicrobial and bacterial resistance from a public health perspective.

Perfil Antropométrico E Emocional De Mulheres Portadoras De Fibromialgia Ingressantes Em Corrida Aquática

“…A Escherichia coli é uma bactéria que causa infecções graves em seres humanos e animais adquirida pelo contato direto com este microrganismo. Provoca manifestações clinicas como a diarreia em animais infectados, dessa forma afeta intimamente o cultivo de plantas e à criação de animais para o consumo humano e fornecimento de matériasprimas, porém estes animais doentes são submetidos ao tratamento por antibióticos o que gera um potencial risco de resistência antimicrobiana prejudicando a saúde do animal e dos humanos quando se alimentam deste animal adoecido (GAZAL et al, 2020).…”

Bacteria of Zoonotic Interest Identified on Edible Freshwater Fish Imported to Australia

“…Four of the antimicrobials selected for evaluation were from categories C1 (‘ sole, or one of limited available therapies, to treat serious bacterial infections in people ’) and C2 (‘ used to treat infections caused by bacteria possibly transmitted from non-human sources, or with resistance genes from non-human sources ’) and one was in the C2 category only. All antimicrobials selected are used in FF or have been identified contaminating farmed freshwater fish in published literature [ 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 , 96 , 97 , 98 , 99 , 100 ]. Antimicrobial disks used in this study were obtained from ThermoFisher.…”
